How to use a top tether

📣 Listen up! 64% of seats installed forward-facing are not using their top tether. Let's make sure you aren't a part of that statistic!
When a car seat is tightly installed, and the top tether anchor is in proper use, it limits a forward-facing car seat from tipping forward by 4-6+ inches.

Thank you so much for your ongoing advice. My car seat does not have a top tether strap! Is it possible to buy one and add it? I can not find any information in the manual or on Google, any help would be really appreciated 🙏

It's not possible. All forward-facing car seats in US, Canada, and Australia would have them attached to the seat already. There are some European seats with top tethers, but not very many still.
