RF tethering a Roundabout 50

ProudMomof5 · Nov 25, 2009

I have put this off way too long and we are getting ready to travel for Thanksgiving.
I have the roundabout 50 installed RF and have no idea how to tether it. I have read the manual and it's just not clear to me.
We drive a 98 Ford Expedition, no tether anchors. The seat is in the middle seat, middle row. Someone told me on here I can still tether it. So, how do I do it?
Thanks!

Ok, first flip the front seats forward and scoot them up and look for a good spot to tether on the front seat track. It needs to be bolted to the floor and something that won't be affected when you move the front seat back into place. Find something to wrap the d-ring around, and then clip the tether to the d-ring with the solid metal part of the clip facing up.

Here are pics of the process.

***Please keep in mind that in the pictures on the site above, her tether is clipped upside down.

Here's a video as well.

Most cars don't have rear facing tether points, which is why Britax and Sunshine Kids provide the tether connector strap (aka the D ring).
