Top Strap

Some child restraints have a top strap, or “top tether.” 
It can help restrain the child restraint during a collision.
For it to work, a top strap must be properly anchored to
the vehicle.

If the child restraint does not have a top strap, one can be 
obtained, in kit form, for many child restraints. Ask the child 
restraint manufacturer whether or not a kit is available.

In Canada, the law requires that forward

facing child

restraints have a top strap, and that the strap be
anchored. In the United States, some child restraints also
have a top strap. If your child restraint has a top strap, it
should be anchored.

Your vehicle has top strap anchors already installed for
the rear seating positions. You’ll find them behind the
rear seat on the filler panel.

In order to get to a bracket, you’ll have to open the 
trim cover.
