A tether is a straight or V-shaped strap that at
taches the top part of a child restraint to special
anchorage points in the vehicle .
T he purpose of the tether is to reduce the for
ward movement of the child restraint in a crash,
in order to help reduce the risk of head injury
that could be caused by striking the vehicle inte
rior .
Forward facing child restraints manufactured af
ter September 1, 1999, are required by U .S. fed
eral regulations to comply with new child head
movement performance requirements . Th ese
new performance requirements make a tether
necessary on most new child safety seats .
