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.
Anchorage location

Three upper anchorages are installed on
the back side of the rear seatback.

WARNING
When you fold down the seatback,
check that there are no
passengers or objects on the rear

of injury or property damage if
the seatback suddenly folds
down.
Never allow passengers to ride
on the folded rear seatback or in
the cargo area...
WARNING
Do not use a seatbelt extender. If
a seatbelt extender is used when
installing a child restraint system,
the seatbelt will not securely
hold the child restraint system.
Use of a seatbelt extender could
cause death or serious injury to
children or other passengers in
sudden braking, swerving, or
accidents...
