Child Seat Tether Attachment: Description and Operation

Tether Anchorage Hardware
If tether anchorage hardware is required for the child safety seat but is not provided by the child safety seat manufacturer, tether anchor hardware kits can be obtained at no charge from any Ford or Lincoln- Mercury dealer. Attachment holes at each rear seating position have been provided in all vehicles.

Canadian Vehicles Only
All vehicles built for sale in Canada include a tether anchor hardware kit for use with Canadian Child Safety Seats.

Some child safety seats provide a tether strap which goes over the back of the vehicle seat and attaches to an anchorage in the floor or panel behind the rear seat.

If a tethered safety seat is installed in the front seat the tether strap should be hooked to the rear seat lap belt tongue or the webbing of the buckled rear seat lap belt behind the child safety seat. Attachment holes (at each rear seating position) have been provided to attach the tether anchor hardware kit.
