Infant restraints, child car seats, child harnesses and some booster seats need to be attached via a top tether strap to an anchor point in the car.
Child anchor points can be found on the parcel shelf in Sedans, an on the floor area in station wagons, vans and hatchbacks. Some station wagons may have the anchor point on the inside roof area. Depending when a car was manufactured, this will be either a special anchor bolt or anchor fitting. Not all vehicles are equipped with an anchor point and some vehicles will require special modifications t fit one. Beware that you do confuse the luggage hook in the back of a station wagon with anchor points.
If your vehicle does not have an anchor point, there are accessories that can be fitted to the vehicle to ensure the correct installation of your child restraint. Willshire can supply and fit appropriate accessories, or make any necessary modifications to your vehicle, to ensure the safe operation of your child restraint. |
