Subaru Forester: Child restraint systems / Top tether anchorages. Anchorage location
This vehicle is equipped with three top
tether anchorages so that a child restraint
system having a top tether can be installed
in the rear seat. When installing such a
child restraint system, proceed as follows,
while observing the instructions from the
child restraint system manufacturer.
Since a top tether can provide additional
stability by offering another connection
between a child restraint system and the
vehicle, we recommend that you use a top
tether whenever possible.
