Child Seat Restraint-Tether Attachment

WARNING:
^ Children having a seating height greater than 71 cm (28 inches), which is the maximum height for use of the Tot-Guard, should use the safety belts provided with the vehicle. However, the shoulder belt portion of the lap shoulder safety belt should not be used if it contacts the child's face, chin, neck or throat. If the shoulder portion of the safety belt either touches or hangs in front of the child's face, chin, neck, or throat, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle or the use of a booster seat may help provide a good shoulder belt fit. If the shoulder belt still does not fit, move the child to a seat with a lap belt only. If the safety belts are not adjusted properly, the child's chances of being injured in a collision increase.
^ When using any infant or child restraint system, it is important that you follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer concerning its installation and use. Failure to follow each of the restraint manufacturer's instructions can result in a child striking the vehicle's interior during a sudden stop or collision.
^ It is important that the bolt/anchor be securely tightened to specification. Otherwise, the child safety seat may not be properly secured, and the child could be injured in case of a sudden stop or accident.
^ Do not place infant or child seats in the auxiliary (third) seat, because they may not provide adequate protection from personal injury in the case of a collision.

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, it should be installed in the front center seating position. The tether strap must be hooked to the webbing of the buckled rear center lap belt behind the child safety seat. Attachment holes (at each rear seating position) have been provided to attach the tether anchor hardware kit.
