Good morning all,
So I'm installing a Britax Boulevard rear facing in a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder and I'd like to route the top tether down to the floor under the front passenger seat.
But how tight (how much tension) can I put on the tether strap? I understand that it is designed to essentially break during an accident to absorb energy, so is there a risk of pulling the tether tight to the point of "activating" the energy absorbing tether?
Any input is appreciated.

P.S. I ask because I am a chronic over-tightener of all things from jars and containers to nuts, bolts, and screws....
