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 not a convertible, two top strap anchors
are already installed for the rear seating positions. You’ll
find the anchors behind the rear seat, on the floor in the
cargo area.
