My friend just called and had an emergency and needs one of us to pick up her DD from school. I'm at work and DH has my car at home so he's gonna go get her. All that's in the car is the YS and Radian and we have a MA in the basement. So the YS is the only thing she can ride in

I told him to just raise the headrest of the YS, undo the LATCH and use it as a booster for her (Almost 6, 40ish lbs)

I dont' have the manual with me, but can you top tether in booster mode?? I forgot to tell him to undo that and well he already went and picked her up.

Oops

yes, the manual says you can tether in booster mode-

ALWAYS use your vehicle’s lap and shoulder (“3-point”) belt system
when restraining the child in booster mode. In booster mode, it is
also possible to use the top tether for additional safety.(page 11)

in fact, pages 16 and 33 don't just allow it, they practically require tether in booster mode-

Regardless of whether you are using
harness mode or booster mode, use the
top tether AT ALL TIMES if your vehicle is
equipped with top tether anchorages. See
the section “Knowing Your Vehicle” for the
general location of top tether anchors.

Good to know! Thanks. I only have my ipod here so I couldn't search for it. He didn't crash so I guess it didn't matter LOL.

Also good to know when it comes to us using it as a booster one day
