Top Strap - Buick 2001 Century Owner's Manual

Top Strap

Some child restraints have a top strap, or "top tether."
It can help restrain the child restraint during a collision.
For it to work, a top strap must be properly anchored to
the vehicle.
If the child restraint does not have a top strap, one
can be obtained, in kit form, for many child restraints.
Ask the child restraint manufacturer whether or not a
kit is available.

In Canada, the law requires that forward
restraints have a top strap, and that the strap be anchored.
In the United States, some child restraints also have a
top strap. If your child restraint has a top strap, it should
be anchored.
Your vehicle has top strap anchors already installed for
the rear seating positions. You'll find them behind the
rear seat filler panel.
In order to get to a bracket, you'll have to open the
trim cover.
