Lower tether anchorage straps

Installing lower tether anchorage straps

If your vehicle has no suitable pre-installed lower tether anchorages, Axkid MINIKID 4 MAX comes with lower tether anchorage straps that can be installed in your vehicle. Depending on your vehicle and the seat position where you choose to install your car seat, there are various possible anchorage points to use for installing the anchorage straps. See below for alternatives.

To install the lower tether anchorage straps (S), simply route the strap around the chosen anchorage point and thread the metal anchorage through one of the slots on the strap itself. The anchorage strap has several slots to use. Make sure to use the slot as close as possible to the metal anchorage, thus installing the metal anchorage as close to the vehicle floor as possible. Once this is done, pull on the metal anchorage to tighten the strap and repeat the process for the other strap. Always use two anchorage points when installing Axkid MINIKID 4 MAX and choose anchorage points that are separated as this gives a more stable installation.

Note:

Always make sure that changing the position of any vehicle seat does not interfere or damage the installed lower tether anchorage straps.

Important:

Never use sharp objects to assist in routing the straps as it might damage the strap.

Anchorage strap routing options


Alt. a Route the strap around the edge of the pre-installed anchorage (use this method only if the pre-installed anchorages do not ﬁt with the lower tethers directly).
Alt. b Install the strap around the seat rail in front of the car seat by threading the strap between the seat rail and vehicle ﬂoor or through appropriate hole of the seat rail.
Alt. c Install the strap around the hinge of the vehicle seat in front of the car seat by threading the strap in between the vehicle seat back and seat cushion.
Alt. d Install the strap around the seat rail below the car seat by threading the strap between the seat rail and vehicle ﬂoor or through appropriate hole of the seat rail.
Alt. e When installing the Axkid MINIKID 4 MAX in a front passenger seat and none of above alternatives is available, it is possible to attach the lower tether anchorage straps to a suitable anchorage point in the back of the vehicle and route the straps underneath the vehicle seat to the front of the vehicle. Make sure that the anchorage straps comes out from the front of the seat and not out from the sides.
