If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly, the
child safety seat may not be retained

properly in the event of a collision.

6. Refer to the Installing child safety seats in
combination lap and shoulder belt seating
positions
section of this chapter for further
instructions to secure the child safety seat.

7. Tighten the child safety seat tether strap
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

If the safety seat is not anchored properly,
the risk of a child being injured in a collision

greatly increases.

Attaching safety seats with LATCH (Lower
Anchors and Tethers for Children) attachments

Some child safety seats have two rigid or webbing
mounted attachments that connect to two anchors
at certain seating positions in your vehicle. This type
of child seat eliminates the need to use safety belts
to attach the child seat. For forward-facing child
seats, the tether strap must also be attached to the
proper tether anchor. See Attaching safety seats
with tether straps
in this chapter.
