Attaching child safety seats with tether straps

Most new forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap which
goes over the back of the seat and hooks to an anchoring point. Tether
straps are available as an accessory for many older safety seats. Contact

tether strap.

The rear seats of your vehicle are equipped with built-in tether strap
anchors located behind the seats as shown below.
