over the top of the seatback. For bench seats with split
seatbacks, route the tether between the seatbacks.
When using the tether anchorages in the center position
on 3rd row fold-in-floor seating, ensure that the strap is
routed over the top of the seatback and under the head
restraint between the head restraint posts.
WARNING!
An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to
increased head motion and possible injury to the
child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind
the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether
strap.
Child restraint systems having attachments designed to
connect to the lower anchorages are now available. Child
restraints having tether straps and hooks for connection
to the seatback tether anchorage have been available for
some time. In fact, many child restraint manufacturers
will provide add-on tether strap kits for some of their
older products.
NOTE: If your child restraint seat is not LATCH com-
patible, install the restraint using the vehicle seat belts.
