I have! They're not terribly common, but they are in some wagons and smaller SUVs, usually for the center seating position. You should check your owner's manual (online if you don't have a book version anymore) to see how to attach the tether because in some vehicles, you may have to give the tether a half twist before attaching it.
My car seat does not have a top tether strap ( I live in Asia and regulations are different). Is it possible to buy and add a top tether strap? I cannot find any information on this, I would really appreciate any help 😵💫
@stefedwards3213 Try contacting the car seat manufacturer and see if they offer a top tether for sale as an accessory. Also make sure your vehicle has a top tether anchor since cargo hooks/rings aren’t capable of withstanding the crash forces a tether would put on them. You may be able to retrofit an anchor if the vehicle manufacturer allows it. Good luck!
Legaldad sent me! I actually keep a phillips head screwdriver in my car for loosening it when I remove my car seats to make it easier (i’m an auntie, not a mom)
@Honeybadgerslayer On most car seats, the tether strap is loosened by pressing down and away from the strap on the metal thumb piece on the latchplate that’s on the tether. If the tether is really tight, this will be harder to do.
@Rena Brown I wonder if it has to do with the angle the latchplate on the tether is at? I've had some that are harder to pull when they're at an odd angle to the carseat.
Yeah how in the world is that easy? It doesn’t tighten easily whatsoever. Pulled with all our might literally moving the parked car and it doesn’t get tight enough
@@AllisonGreenheartswax What type of vehicle and which carseat? I've had harder tethers with shorter distances, such as with sedans. Trucks can be difficult to pull tethers tight in as well.

Have you seen tether points in the car's ceiling behind the rear seat? My older Rav4 seemed to have this.

Thanks for coming! Loosening what up?
Legal dad sent me to help you. I also need help with car seats so win win.
Awesome! Welcome!
How do you lose that strap? I’m having a hard time

i wish video showed attachment on the child car seat side
What do you mean? How it's attached to the carseat?
I’ve never ever been able to pull a tether strap that easily. 😮 they don’t slide that easily
