A tether is a straight or V-shaped strap that
attaches the top part of a ch ild restraint to
special anchorage po ints in the vehicle .
The purpose of the tether is to reduce the for-
ward movement of the child restraint in a

injury that cou ld be caused by strik ing the ve-
hicle interior.

after September 1, 1999, are requ ired by U.S.
federa l regu lations to comply with new child
head movement performance requ irements .

seats .

a crash .
