I know I've seen some threads before on using the seatbelt as a tether? Can you legally do this? So if you put a five point in the front seat behind uses latch can you tether the front seat to seatbelt behind?

I can't seem to find the laws online, where is pixelated when you need her!
Oh I see you want to tether to a seatbelt in a seating position with another CRS installed with UAS? I would not be ok with that, too much risk of interaction in a collision.
in BC a forward facing seat has to be tethered, and not many front seats that I'm aware of have tethers in the front seat. so you could tether to the seatbelt behind, however if you have a rear seatbelt available you should be able to install it in that seat (safest option). unless of course there is no top tether in the back seat, and no way to install one, in which case you would have to install in the front seat.
:happy-wavehello:I'm here, I'm here!
I think there would be very few instances where that would work, because of potential interference as Natalie said. Where I could possibly see it working is in a van like mine, an 03 Odyssey, where the passenger side captain's chair can either be fully outboard or shifted into the centre. As the seat belt for that position is anchored to the floor there's a big gap between it and the actual seat (and therefore I do not 5-step in that spot). Maybe I'll try this afternoon to see if that would even be possible.
There are definitely a lot of variables here, angle of temporary tether, front seat contours (I think the tether would slip off the top of my passenger seat because it is all one piece and shaped like a rounded off mountain), acceptable installation, etc.
OP, Is there another way to get him home other than this set up? Can we get vehicle information?
She's asking about putting a harnessed seat up front and temporary tethering it to the row behind's seat belt, while another seat is installed in that spot with UAS.
I think it'll be a last resort type thing, hopefully they can figure something else out before needing to resort to something like this. Just wanted to know if it was some type of feasible option. Thanks
