Car Seat Tether Bolt

I trust only Canadian tire when it comes to my childs safety. I have bought booster seats and car seats as wellas this tether hitch for my car.

Keep the babies safe and install the carseat the correct way. Needs to be bolted. If unsure, have it installed, but is an easy DIY.

My 1993 car did not have this tether bolt stock on it and I got one of these and asked the auto shop to install it for me. At first my car seat was just buckled up using the lap belt, and it didn't feel really secure. The car seat had a strap and clip for the tether bolt, so I knew my car design was deficient. Once installed, the clip is extremely secure and now the seat does not rock forward and backward at all. This forward and backward movement is what causes neck injuries in a crash. You want to minimize the movement of the car seat as the car impacts. The tether bolt and car seat clip cinched tight does just that. If you have an older car or a car that does not come equipped with it , this is a must. I even think it is required by law to have this installed in your car if you are have a car seat . It can be a DIY job, but since my car was in for servicing, I asked the auto shop to do it for me. It doesn't matter where you put it in the back dash, as you can cinch up the belt clip on the car seat to make it tight and snug. Just make sure you install it in a place that is easy to clip on (and centred on the back dash, to make it look OEM quaility)

Running a child daycare and having 6 seats that have to be bolted and tethered to the van is a must. It may not be the best looking hardware you have in your vehicle but if installed and used correctly, it certainly can save your child from injury due to care seats comming over the child. Because we travel a lot, we have been rerended a couple of times and the only one suffering whiplash was me. Every child I carried were properly secured in thier seats and every seat was properly secured in the vehicle.
