I know some car manufacturers have approved tie downs for top tethers as well, but what about those that don't? I've been asked the "but why?" question and I don't really have answer other than "it says so". What is the danger of using a cargo tie down as a ta? I'm thinking it would fail and possibly cause a projectile? What's the worst that can happen?
What makes using a cargo tie down as TA a no-no and not parental choice? It's parental choice to continue using top anchors beyond stated weight llimits, go above stated height limits, etc. I know cargo tie downs aren't meant to hold a ton of weight, but are TAs going to hold beyond stated weight limits? I thought the consenus was that it could fail but likely had already done it's job, how would a cargo tie down be any different?
I've done google-ing and cannot find anything on dangers of using cargo tie downs as top anchors. Only how important top tethering is. Insight please.
