A tether strap is a strap made of seat belt material that is attached to the back of the child restraint. It has a hook on the end that attaches to a tether anchor in your vehicle. The purpose of the tether strap is to reduce head excursion (the distance your child's head moves forward in a crash). Current standards do not mandate the use of the tether strap, however, it is an additional safety measure that should be used if possible.

Generally, NO, unless it is specifically mentioned in your manual. In the USA, older Safeline Sit-n-Stroll models and some Britax models may use a tether when rear-facing. You can find some instructions for tethering the Britax models in the Britax Online Instructions. Some additional information on the use of the rear-facing Britax Versa-Tether can be found at this site.

A tether is a strong strap that attaches on one end to the top of a car seat, and fastens on the other end to an anchor point behind the car's seatback. It's used to keep the top of the child seat from traveling too far forward in a collision. Not all child seats have tethers, but many infant seats do. A tether is an excellent supplement to the bottom LATCH connectors; it will keep the top of the seat properly positioned while the LATCH connectors secure the bottom.

Most forward facing safety seats that have internal harnesses that are manufactured after September 1, 1999 will have the tether. The tether strap gives your child added head protection in a car crash. Desert Sammy Injury Prevention advocates all forward facing children to use a seat that is tethered.

The strap material is called hook and loop. This material is very similar to the material that rhymes with WELCRO.

Do NOT rig a tether to your BackUP . A tether long enough to let you use the BackUP for righting would be long enough to entangle you. Besides, it's unlikely that you'll let go of something that floats so well!

No. Check with the manufacturer of your vehicle. Many manufacturers now offer one anchorage at no charge. Remember the tether is only for forward facing safety seats.

If the strap is too short, we are sorry. We try to create a universal length that will work for everyone. We do not have different size straps available. There is a possibility that your local shoe repair could insert a piece of elastic. If the strap is too long, that is easy. Simply place the strap on a piece of wood (finished side down). With a small nail, use a hammer to punch as many new openings as you need.

It starts frying, exposed to the concentrated, focused light of Heaven - much like a bug under a magnifying glass.

The mono that holds my sunglasses is 300 pound test. I wanted something stiff enough so that it would stay clear of my neck. In the warm weather, anything that touches the neck can irritate it. Cut the mono to your preferred length. Use a candle or match to burn both ends slightly. This causes them to swell and they won't pull through the wraps. I use bait rigging floss to wrap the mono against the temple bars of the glasses.
