Page 36 of the manual, Section 7 - Installation and Use.
It's a seemingly out-of-place asterisk item under Tether Storage.
"*Use top tether in all forward facing installations*"
Earlier in the manual, the two forward-facing installation examples both use a top tether. There is no example of the seat being used forward-facing without the tether.

Decent enough review. Too bad the seat they have is one with older stickers showing only position one and two for RF. I also noted they alluded to FF a toddler
My manual says that the tether must be used in all FF installations, BUT I'm in Canada and tethering is required here for FF, so they have to say that in our manuals.

Technogranola: Their daughter is 4 years old. So I don't see anything amiss in the allusion.

Well, their quote says "toddler" which is basically age 1 and 2. So, their quote is alluding that toddlers can go FF in that seat. Which they technically can, but since they did a good job of not giving advice on RF vs FF in the rest of the article, I was a bit disappointed to see this quote.
If they were referring to their own 4 year old, then pre-schooler would have been a better choice of words.

That is a great idea. My Svan high chair came with a DVD and it was great! I plugged it into the DVD player and put it together while watching the DVD. I could pause and replay when necessary.
With the amount of vehicles that have DVD players in them, and the low cost of portable DVD players, it would be easy for most people to even have the DVD going in the vehicle while doing the install.
Safeguard does include an instruction DVD with the Safeguard Child Seat and the Safeguard Go. Maybe more manufacturers will catch on to this. :thumbsup:
Does anyone know when they changed the stickers? Or if they are changed for the U.S? My TrueFit that I got last week has the old kind and is also the same in the manual (RF slots 1, 2, FF slots 2, 3, 4). It has a 3/1/08 DOM.
I agree it was a pretty good review. I didn't see if they mentioned about the adjuster being difficult to reach when RF. We are having that problem, but it hasn't been unbearable.

I don't know about the US, but I have a Canadian True Fit with a 4/1/08 DOM that has the new stickers (1, 2, and 3 RF, 2, 3, and 4 FF.)
And I agree with you about the adjuster being difficult to reach, but I try not to fiddle with it and just leave the straps tight.

They didn't mention the harness adjuster being difficult to reach rf, but they have a 3 month old (I think), and also they mentioned that it HAD to be at a 45 degree angle. They don't have the inside scoop like we do
And apparently at 45 degrees its not too difficult to reach the adjuster (I say apparently, cause I haven't got to use one yet).
