Dana Boissonneault Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I was wonding if the Dodge Journey allows for Swedish tethering when rearfacing a car seat? My car seat manual says to do it, but I need to check with dodge. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana Boissonneault Posted September 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Yes I use latch, but it's for the top tether. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 When I had rear facing for my granddaughters used an extra tether strap/belt that came with the car seat and looped it under the second row seat to secure it. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 What is "swedish tethering"??? Yes, I am too lazy to google it. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobitz68 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 What is "swedish tethering"??? Yes, I am too lazy to google it. Based on the picture she attached, it looks like tethering the top of the car seat to the floor (when in a rear-facing configuration). dhh3 and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Oh...was too lazy to look at the pictures too. I hate Mondays. dhh3 and Lobitz68 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Maybe use the handle for the under floor bin. I have no idea what the weight load is on the handle. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Boissonneault Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 My carseat came with the extra attachment where I can loop it around the back leg of a front seat, but some vehicles do not allow this. I was just wondering if Dodge allowed it or not. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolly Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I'm not sure where you are, but in Canada there are several organizations that show how to properly install car seats. Check to see if there are any in your area, they may have the information you're looking for. dhh3 and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Boissonneault Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I'm in Ontario Canada. I've been to a car seat clinic and the techs were unsure. They said mycar seat manual said to do it, but it's not the car seat that needs the permission, it's dodge. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Since you are in Canada, I would tether it according to Canadian law jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 There is no Canadian "law", the only stipulation is that the seat must be secure insuring no movement whatsoever. Don't forget that with rear facing child seat the built in anchors are of little use so you must innovate. dhh3 and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
