If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly, the
child safety seat may not be retained
properly in the event of a collision.
6. Install the child safety seat tightly using the
LATCH anchors or safety belts. Follow the
instructions in this chapter.
7. Tighten the child safety seat tether strap
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
If the safety seat is not anchored properly,
the risk of a child being injured in a collision
greatly increases.
Attaching safety seats with LATCH (Lower
Anchors and Tethers for Children) attachments
Some child safety seats have two rigid or webbing
mounted attachments that connect to two anchors
at certain seating positions in your vehicle. This type
of child seat eliminates the need to use safety belts
to attach the child seat. For forward-facing child
seats, the tether strap must also be attached to the
proper tether anchor. See
Attaching safety seats
with tether straps
in this chapter.
