I'm not sure where exactly to post this, so please feel free to move.
My kids occasionally ride in an 07 Honda Ridgeline. Everything seemed straightforward for installations. I've even posted on how great this truck is and how easy installs are.
Today I was looking something up in the manual and realized the thing that I've been using for a top tether isn't one! It looks just like the top tether anchor in a sedan. It has a similar bar and under a plastic lid. It turns out this is just the tether guide. The tether is routed through the tether guide and attaches to an anchor that is either on the vehicle floor at the edge of the seat for outboard or near the lower LATCH anchors for the middle.
I'm not a tech, and I'll admit I should have read the vehicle manual before ever installing car seats. But I've never heard of doing it this crazy way. Goes to show we really should reading the vehicle manual every time.
I'm a bit worried about tethers on my Britax seats fitting through this tether guide.
Anyone else ever seen a vehicle like this?
