1-32 Top Strap
Canadian law requires that forward facing child
restraints have a top strap, and that the strap
be anchored.
If your child restraint has a top strap, it should
be anchored.Vehicles First Sold in the United States:
Was your vehicle first sold in the United States? If so,
don't use a child restraint with a top strap in your
vehicle because there's no place to anchor a top strap.
You shouldn't use this type of child restraint without
anchoring the top strap.
Vehicles First Sold in Canada:
If your vehicle has a fixed roof and was first sold in
Canada, you can ask your dealer to install a top strap
anchor for you. This work will be done for you free of
charge. If you want to install the anchor yourself, your
dealer can tell you how to do it. Anchor the top strap to
the bracket.
If your vehicle is a convertible or has a removable roof,
don't use a child restraint with a top strap because the
anchor can't be installed properly. You shouldn't use this
type of child restraint without anchoring the top strap.
