Child Safety Seat Tether Anchors
WARNING:
The child safety seat tether anchor/bolt MUST be securely tightened to specification. Otherwise, the child safety seat may not be correctly secured and the child could be injured if the vehicle is involved in a collision or stops suddenly.
Child safety seat tether anchors are manufactured into the vehicle. On 4-door vehicles, they are attached to the package tray, the outboard tether anchors are welded to the rear package tray, and the center tether anchor is bolted to the rear package tray. On 3-door, 5-door and station wagons, they are part of the seat backrest.
Some manufactures make child safety seats that include a tether strap that goes over the back of the vehicle seat and attaches to an anchoring point. Other manufacturers offer the tether strap as an accessory. Contact the manufacturer of the child safety seat for information about ordering a tether strap.
