What are top tethers for?
Most forward-facing and convertible child safety seats manufactured since 1999 come with tether straps. The tethers attach the tops of the child safety seat to special anchors in vehicles. A tether can add stability and provide for better head and neck protection when used correctly. To use a tether strap, you need a tether anchor. Check your vehicle owner’s manual to find out if you have an anchor, or contact your vehicle manufacturer to see if one can be installed. If your child safety seat came with a tether strap, follow the instructions for attaching and tightening. If your vehicle doesn’t have a tether strap, contact the manufacturer to see if one is available for your child safety seat.
