Automotive Seat Parts industry Research by Type End-Use and Region
Every car seat needs to be installed using either the lower anchors or a seat belt to secure it in place. If you choose to use a seat belt to install your car seat, pay close attention to how to “lock” your seat belt according to the vehicle’s owner manual. Use a tether, if one is available. Before installing your car seat, make sure you understand the function and location of the vehicle and car seat parts used in the installation.
The lower anchors are found in a minimum of two rear seating positions in a vehicle. Each lower-anchor-equipped seating position has two small horizontal bars found in the space between the vehicle seat’s back and bottom cushion (the “seat bight”).
Typically there are a minimum of 3 tether anchors in a vehicle. In sedans, these are usually located above/behind the vehicle’s back seat on the rear shelf. In some larger vehicles such as vans, pickup trucks, and SUVs, these tether anchors may be found on the back of a vehicle seat itself, on the floor, the ceiling, or other location.
