I would not use it FF if it couldn't be tethered. RFing would be safer so turn him but watch his weight closely until you can replace the seat. You don't want him to exceed 35lbs while rear-facing.

As long as he's not above 35 pounds he's fine and safe to rear face in the car, but the seat has passed testing without a tether, so while it's not ideal, and not the safEST, it's safe.

What happened that they broke? Does Learning Curve/First Years know?

The seats are warrantied, and they will surely still be under warranty if you just bought them in September. Call Learning Curve and explain your problem, good idea to have pics to send them as well.
