Lower Anchors and Tethers For Children

The lower anchors and tethers for children system is a standardized and uniform attachment system for installing child safety seats in passenger vehicles. Lower anchors and tethers for children equipped child safety seats have 2 lower attachments that connect to the vehicle portion of the lower anchors and tethers for children system.

The vehicle portion of the system consists of 2 attachment points (6-mm wires) welded to the rear seat cushion frame. The attachment points protrude from the bite line between the seat cushion and seat backrest.

If a child safety seat was in use during a collision, inspect the vehicle portion of the system for damage. If any of the attachment points (6-mm wires) are damaged, install a new seat cushion frame.
