Honda CR-V: Safety of Infants and Small Children / Adding Security with a Tether
A tether anchorage point is provided behind each rear seating position.
If you have a child seat that comes with a tether but can be installed with a
seat belt, the tether may be used for additional security.

Since a tether can provide additional security to the
lap/shoulder seat belt installation, we recommend
using a tether whenever one is available.
Using an outer anchor
- Put the head restraint to its upper-most position, then route the tether
strap through the head restraint legs.
Make sure the strap is not twisted.
- Secure the tether strap hook to the anchor.
- Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the child seat manufacturer.

Using the center anchor
- Put the head restraint to its upper-most position.
- Open the anchor cover.
- Route the tether strap through the head restraint legs.
Make sure the
strap is not twisted.
- Secure the tether strap hook to the anchor.
- Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the child seat manufacturer.

A child seat can be installed with a lap/shoulder belt in any rear seat or,
if absolutely
necessary, the front passenger seat.
Place the child seat on the vehicle seat...

Other information:
After all occupants have adjusted their seats and head restraints, and put on
their
seat belts, it is very important that they continue to sit upright, well back in
their
seats, with their feet on the floor, until the vehicle is safely parked and the
engine is
off...
