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-facing child
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.
If your vehicle is a cargo van, the anchoring point for a
top strap is located at the rear of the seat cushion on the
right front passenger’s seat spacer bar. Anchor the top
strap through the two slots.
