Top Tether securing belts
Fig.1 Rear part of the second row of rear
seats: securing rings for the Top Tether strap.
Fig.2 Rear of front passenger seat backrest:
Top Tether belt anchor.
Child seats with a Top Tether system are fitted
with an additional belt for fastening to an an-
chor point in the vehicle. This anchor point is
located on the rear of the rear seat backrest
(identified with the symbol ) and provides
better retention ›››Fig.1.
The objective of this system is to reduce for-
ward movements of the child seat in a head-on
collision, to reduce the risk of injuries that may
be caused to the child’s head by impacting
against any element of the inside of the vehicle.
Use of Top Tether on rearward-facing child
restraints
Currently, there are very few rearward-facing
child restraints with Top Tether. The car seat
manufacturer's instructions for proper installa-
tion of the Top Tether should be read carefully
and followed.
