Attaching Safety Seats With Tether Straps
Some manufacturers make safety seats that include a tether
strap that goes over the back of the vehicle seat and attaches to
an anchoring point. Other manufacturers offer the tether strap
as an accessory. Contact the manufacturer of your child safety
seat for information about ordering a tether strap.
You can attach a tether strap to the front passenger or second
row seats by using the built-in tether anchors provided on the
back of the seats as described below.
Follow the child seat manufacturer's instructions to attach the
tether strap to the tether anchor.
