In addition, there are tether strap anchors located behind
each rear seatback, near to the floor.
Many, but not all, restraint systems will be equipped with
separate straps on each side, with each having a hook or
connector for attachment to the lower anchor and a
means of adjusting the tension in the strap. Forward-
facing toddler restraints and some rear-facing infant
restraints will also be equipped with a tether strap, a
hook for attachment to the tether strap anchor and a
means of adjusting the tension of the strap.
You will first loosen the child seat adjusters on the lower
straps and on the tether strap so that you can more easily
attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchors.
Next, attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top
of the seatcover material. Then attach the tether strap to
the anchor directly behind the seat where you are placing
the child restraint, being careful to route the tether strap
to provide the most direct path between the anchor and
the child restraint, preferably between the head restraint
posts underneath the head restraint. For center seating
position, adjust the head restraint to the upward position
and route the tether strap between the head restraint
posts underneath the head restraint. Then, attach the
hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat.
