facing car seat to any location in front of
the car seat, including the seat frame or a
tether anchorage. Only attach the tether
strap of a rear-facing car seat to the tether
anchorage that is approved for that seating
position, located behind the top of the
vehicle seat. See the section “Lower An-
chors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH)

proved tether anchorages in your vehicle.
Regular Cab Trucks:

chorages are located behind the center and
right passenger seats. There is a plastic cover
over each anchorage. To attach the tether
strap of the child restraint:
1. Place the child restraint on the seat andadjust the tether strap so that it will reach
over the seat back, under the head re-
straint and to the tether anchor directly
behind the seat. 2. Route the tether strap to provide the most
direct path between the anchorage and
the child seat. The tether strap should go
between the head restraint posts under-
neath the head restraint. You may need toRegular Cab Tether Anchorages
