Safer Child Products

Once you turn the child car seat forward facing, it is very important to secure the top of the seat with the tether strap. This needs to be used whether you are using a seatbelt or latch clips to install the child car seat because the tether reduces the forward movement and rotation of the child car seat in a crash.  If you are unsure of where the top tether strap anchors to, check your vehicle owner’s manual.  Some vehicles have the tether anchor on the bottom of the back of the same seat, some vehicles have it on the rear dash and I’ve seen other places too!   The vehicle owner’s manual will also inform you how to route the tether strap in relation to the head rest.
