Important information
Lower tether anchorages (LTA) are used to enhance the protection of children in cars by providing a firm and stable installation for extended rear-facing belt attached car seats. This increases the safety for your child in all types of collisions, including roll-over accidents and rear-end impacts.
Lower tethers are a well-established method that has been extensively used in the Nordic countries for over 40 years. In 2020 a new international standard for LTA, ISO13216-4:2020, was released. This standard describes the requirements for lower tethers for car seats but also for vehicle manufactures and their anchor points. The purpose is to improve the compatibility and ensuring a safe and easy way of installation for the future.
Axkid MINIKID 4 MAX lower tethers complies with ISO13216-4:2020, ensuring a perfect fit and easy installation in vehicles with pre-installed lower tether anchorages that also complies to this standard. If your vehicle has anchorage points that do not comply with the standard, Axkid MINIKID 4 MAX lower tethers are still likely, but not guaranteed, to fit.
Pre-installed lower tether anchorages in vehicles are often found on the seat rails attached to the floor, but other positions are also used.
Check your vehicle’s instruction manual for more information on usable anchor points.
Some vehicle manufactures also offers the possibility of retrofitting lower tether anchorages. Contact your vehicle manufacturer or dealer for more information. Axkid retrofit lower tether anchorages and extra lower tether anchorage straps can be purchased separately.
