RF Tether in '01 Escape - Car Seat.Org - Carseat, Vehicle & Child Passenger Safety Forums

mom2riley · 06-20-2007, 01:34 PM

I am totally clueless when it comes to the rear tether and I need some help please. DD is in a comfort sport right now, but will be in a como as long as I like DS's that is preordered. I am going to sound really silly and that is why I need help. Up until coming here I thought that to rear tether your car had to have a designated thing installed. But now I understand that you can tether to pretty much anything bolted down, is that right? If it isn't please educate me as I am pretty confused. Next I was wondering if anyone has experience w/RF tether in a 2001 Escape. Thank you in advance

I have a 2001 Escape and I have a Roundabout rf tethered right now. I tether it to either the front passenger seat or the drivers seat. The seat anchors are bolted to the frame of the car and they make a perfect place to tether. The tether does not interfere with at all with the movement of the seats. Any seat that rf tethers should come with a d-ring, which is a piece of webbing(tether material) with a metal ring on one end. You loop this around the front seat anchor and you have an anchor.

Just wanted to make sure that you know you can not tether the Comfort Sport rearfacing. I know you said you wanted to do it with the Como, but I just wanted to clarify in case.
