46 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE Child Restraint Tether Anchor Regular Cab models have two tether anchorages, one behind each passenger seating position (front center and right seat positions). Club Cab and Quad Cab models have three anchorages, one behind each of the rear seat positions (rear left, center, and right seat positions). WARNING! Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. It could come loose in a collision. The child could be seriously injured or killed. Make sure the child restraint tether strap is always routed through the proper anchor strap inner loop. Tether Straps at the Front Passenger's Seat (Regular Cab With All Seats) 1. Route the child restraint tether strap up and over the passenger seat back. 2. Thread the tether strap through the anchor strap inner loop (loop with metal ring), located directly behind the passenger's seat. 3. Route the tether strap across to the anchor strap installed in the center, and attach the tether strap hook to the anchor strap metal ring. WARNING! With a child restraint installed in the rear driver or passenger side locations, use care when adjusting the front seat(s) rearward, to avoid the front seat back coming in contact with the belted child directly behind the seat. The child could be injured.
