restraint to a single anchor,
except for the center top tether
anchors in the crew and extended
cabs. Attaching more than one
child restraint to a single anchor

break during a crash. A child or
others could be injured. To reduce
the risk of serious or fatal injuries

child restraint in the rear seat, see

secure the restraints. Some
restraints also use another vehicle
anchor to secure a top tether.
