Tether spot in a 2008 Tahoe

steph · Oct 4, 2015

Going to help install two Britax in my friends Tahoe. Anyone know of a good spot for the RF tether? They have two captains chairs, so one driver side the other passenger side.

TIA!

Did they come with d-rings? http://carseatblog.com/32084/britax-phasing-out-rear-facing-tethers-on-convertible-carseats/

They haven't gotten them yet (they didn't have two in stock of the color they wanted so they had to order).

Crud, the RF tether was a selling point for them (and I've always preferred it).

This anti rebound bar? Is it optional? Should they be looking at another seat? Thoughts on it?

Okay I just saw there is a recall on the Click Tights. I'm hoping theirs are manufactured after but if not sure they go with the regular BV? The sales guy (who was actually half way knowledgable) sold them on the click tight.

The Clicktights in stores now should be post-recall. They were pulled from the shelves for a month or so, so anything else out now should be good.

The regular BLVD is an awesome seats and is now a decent choice for extended RF, but won't last as long as the Clicktight FF by shoulder height. It also wouldn't be able to RF tether either, so no difference there...

I think that the anti-rebound bar is well-liked. It was introduced in Canada as an alternative to Australian-style tethering, then became available in the U.S., then they phased out RF tethering....I am excited about it and considering buying one to try out on my current G4 Britax seats, which we currently RF tether.

I was trying to search the blog but I'm on my phone.

Should I have them get the anti rebound bar? What's the general opinion on it?

I almost had them get the G4 Boulevard but the click tight wasn't that much more and does have some very cool options (and like Nedra mentioned is a bit taller).

I much prefer the ClickTights because they're so easy to install. I think the ARB is a good idea, but I've heard they can be troublesome. Britax will fix them if there's a problem, of course, but it's something you have to deal with.

So would you suggest the anti rebound bar? Or do you think it's that much of a safety advantage? They are only $20 so not as bad priced as I thought.
