1-33 Top Strap
In Canada, the law requires that forward-facing child
restraints have a top strap, and that the strap be
anchored. In the United States, some child restraints also
have a top strap. If your child restraint has a top strap,
it should be anchored.
If your vehicle has a fixed roof, an anchor bracket for a
top strap is located behind the passenger's seat in the
cargo area. 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
strap can't be anchored properly. You shouldn't use this
type of child restraint without anchoring the top strap.
