The tether anchors for the two/three* rear seat­

¢ fig. 172. Vehicles with two rear
seating positions are equipped with two tether
anchors.
A tether is a straight or V-shaped strap that at­
taches the top part of a child restraint to specia l
anchorage points in the vehicle.
The purpose of the te ther is to red uce the for­
ward movement of the child restraint in a c rash,
in order to he lp red uce the risk of head injury
that could be caused by striking the vehicle inte­ rior .
F orward 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 . These
new performance requirements make a tether
necessary on most new child safety seats .

crash.

the manufacturer of the child restra int you
