Anchor bracket location WARNING Child-Restraint Tether Usage: Using the tether or tether anchor to secure anything but a child-restraint system is dangerous. This could weaken or damage the tether or tether anchor and result in injury. Use the tether and tether anchor only for a child-restraint system. Incorrect Positioning of the Tether Strap: Positioning the tether strap on top of the head restraint is dangerous. In a collision, the head restraint could bend or break.
