back of the rear seat.
Child seats with the Top Tether system come
with a strap for securing the seat to the vehi-

rear seat backrest and provide greater re-
straint.
The objective of this strap is to reduce for-
ward movements of the child seat in a crash,
to reduce the risk of injuries to the head from
hitting the inside of the vehicle.
