90 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS
The top tether anchors are under the
covers, behind the rear seat, on the
filler panel. Be sure to use an anchor
on the same side of the vehicle as the
seating position where the child
restraint will be placed.
Do not secure a child restraint in a
position without a top tether anchor if
a national or local law requires that
the top tether be attached, or if the
instructions that come with the child
restraint say that the top tether must
be attached.
According to accident statistics,
children and infants are safer when

wrapped around their neck. The
shoulder belt can tighten but
