SEATS AND RESTRAINTS
95
Some child restraints that have a top
tether are designed for use with or
without the top tether being attached.
Others require the top tether always to
be attached. In Canada, the law
requires that forward-facing child
restraints have a top tether, and that
the tether be attached. Be sure to read
and follow the instructions for the
child restraint.
Lower Anchor and Top Tether
Anchor Locations
Rear Seat
I
:
Seating positions with top tether
anchors.
H
:
Seating positions with two lower
anchors.
To assist in locating the lower
anchors, each rear anchor position has
a label, near the crease between the
seatback and the seat cushion.
To assist in locating the top tether
anchors, the top tether anchor symbol
is on the cover.
The top tether anchors are under the
covers, behind the rear seat, on the
filler panel. Be sure to use an anchor
on the same side of the vehicle as the
seating position where the child
restraint will be placed.
Do not secure a child restraint in a
position without a top tether anchor if
a national or local law requires that
the top tether be attached, or if the
instructions that come with the child
restraint say that the top tether must
be attached.
According to accident statistics,
children and infants are safer when
properly restrained in a child restraint
system or infant restraint system
