Child Seat Tether Attachment: Description and Operation
CHILD RESTRAINT SEAT TETHER ATTACHMENTSome aftermarket 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. (Ford Tot-Guard Child Seat does not require a top tether strap).
Two (one on each side) 8.0 mm top tether attachment weld nuts in the rear of the cargo area have been provided for the attachment of the anchor hardware supplied with the safety seat, if required.
WARNING: When using any infant or child restraint system it is important that you follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer concerning its use. Failure to follow each of the restraint manufacturer's instructions can result in a child striking the vehicle interior during a sudden stop or collision.
