Always, always attach the top tether when using a forward facing car seat. Some rotating seats also require the top tether while rear facing. The top tether reduces forward head motion by up to 4-6 inches in a crash. It is THAT important. Which is why we (CPSTs) talk about it so much. Check your vehicle manual to find your top tether locations in your vehicle! Questions? Send me a DM or comment below! #explore #cpst #momsofinstagram #carseatsafety

Hi there! In this video did you attach two seats? Or just the one? X

I have a net cassette in the way and can’t really get the top tether to show green and if so it is pinched between the net cassette and the back seat . Is that a problem. ?

Okay, my belts inner rubber mechanism that prevents any sliding is completely looped and knotted unto itself (I hope I’m making sense). We can’t loosen or tighten it anymore. It’s so annoying…

Wait… do people actually not do this? I feel like it’s common sense if it’s a part of the build for the car seat.

What about the booster seat on a third row seat that doesn't have a tether?

Unless they weigh a certain amount? I think my car seat manual says to not use it if they’re more that 40 or 45 lbs I think
