This type of attachment methodeliminates the need to use seatbelts to attachthe child restraint. However, you can still usethe seatbelt to attach the child restraint if thelower anchors are not used. Forforward-facing child restraints, you must alsoattach the top tether strap to the proper toptether anchor if a top tether strap has beenprovided with your child restraint. Werecommend the use of a child safety seathaving a top tether strap. See Using TetherStraps in this chapter.

Each time you use the safety seat, check thatthe seat is properly attached to the loweranchors and tether anchor, if applicable. Tugthe child restraint from side to side andforward and back where it is secured to thevehicle. The seat should move less than oneinch when you do this for a properinstallation.
If the safety seat is not anchored properly,the risk of a child being injured in a crashgreatly increases.
Combining Seatbelt and LATCH LowerAnchors for Attaching Child SafetySeats
When used in combination, either theseatbelt or the LATCH lower anchors maybe attached first, provided a properinstallation is achieved. Attach the tetherstrap afterward, if included with the childrestraint.
Using Tether Straps
Many forward-facing child safety seatsinclude a tether strap which extends fromthe back of the child safety seat and hooksto an anchoring point called the top tetheranchor. Tether straps are available as anaccessory for many older safety seats.Contact the manufacturer of your childrestraint for information about ordering atether strap, or to obtain a longer tether strapif the tether strap on your safety seat doesnot reach the appropriate top tether anchorin the vehicle.
Some of the rear seats of your vehicle havebuilt-in tether strap anchors behind the seatsas described below.
