Child restraints system s having attachm ents designed to
connect to the lower anchorages are now available. Child
restraints having tether strap s and hooks for connection
to the top tether anchorage have been available for som e
time. In fact, many child restraint manu factu rers will
provid e add-on tether strap kits for som e of their older
prod ucts. Tether anchorage kits are also available for
most older vehicles.
InstallingtheChildRestraintSystem
We urge that you carefu lly follow the directions of the
manu factu rer when installing you r child restraint. Many,
but not all, restraint system s will be equ ipped with
separate strap s on each side, with each having a hook or
connector and a means for adjusting the tension in the
strap . Forw ard -facing tod dler
restraints
and
som e
rearw ard -facing infant restraints will also be equ ipped
with a tether strap with a hook and means for adjusting
the tension in the strap .
Because the lower anchorages are to be introd uced to
passenger carrying vehicles over a period of years, child
restraint system s having attachm ents for those anchor-
ages will continu e to have featu res for installation in
vehicles using the lap or lap/ shou lder belt. They will also
have tether strap s, and you are urged to take advantage
of all of the available attachm ents provid ed with you r
child restraint in any vehicle.
In general, you will first loosen the adjusters on the lower
and tether strap s so that you can more easily attach the
hook or connector to the lower and tether anchorages.
The tether strap shou ld be rou ted und er the center of the
head restraint and attached to the tether anchor on the
rear of the seat back. Then tighten all three strap s as you
push the child restraint rearw ard and downw ard into the
seat.
