Can the tether be used in an older car that has the child safety clips on the back seat ledge of the car?

Yes. I attach mine to my seat buckle for both of my dogs. 1 clip per buckle.

I would look at a totally different harness. I couldn't get mine to fit my dog and when I did she was out of it in 10 seconds. I should have returned it but I never did. Waste of money.

Those are actually top tether anchors for child restraint. It would work to anchor it to, but the harness itself isn't the greatest. I returned mine

You could probably set it up on a car like that. Honestly, our dogs slipped out, got tangled up, and this was after nearly 20 minutes of trying to get it to fit the dogs properly. If you have a fairly calm dog, these harness are a good idea. If your dog is anything like our lab (a little more active in the car, you might be better off with a crate.

I don't see why not -- it hangs around the supports for the headrest. But. There would not be anything to secure the bottom to keep it from swinging away from the seat back. As long as there wasn't anything hard or sharp in it, you should be good to go.

The design idea behind this safety belt is anchoring the dog to the anchors already installed in cars today to fit a child safety seat. Since the law requires these seats in a back seat, the anchors are there. If you have anchors installed on your auto for a passenger seat, it would work. The harness straps connect from the dogs hips between the seat and back to the anchors. Slide your hand between the seat and the back and you can feel the "loops or rings" the child seat connects to. These anchors are connected to the auto floor in some manner so they are permanent. I have never seen these for a passenger seat. Lots of words to say no, but you never know how each auto is built.

The tether is not required when using the seatbelt. It is fairly secure without the tether.

Yes, its very easy to take out and put back in my car. I unhook the 3 tethers and remove it. It's a little hard to tighten the straps when you put it back in, you have to really pull hard to get the straps tight

I haven't used the top tether rear-facing basically because the anchor is behind the seat, meaning the tether would end up over the seat itself making it hard to put the child into the seat. If the anchor is on the floor than that would make it easier to use but I don't think your car has that.

I am sure ours are installed that way. The seat belt goes in the back and then a metal clip that I have locks it. It's a common clip for carseats. I have a Mazda cx9 and I can seat this anywhere

If the back seat has a head rest that the strap can slip over, then yes. However, I do use mine in the front seat. The back seat will NOT allow you, however, to secure the bottom strap which is designed to buckle behind the back of the seat itself keeping the carseat snug against the back of the seat.

The LATCH straps seemed like they would be easy to install because you just clip them into the car and pull the extra strap to tighten. However, once I clipped them into the LATCH hooks on the car, I wasn't strong enough to cinch them tight enough. Same goes for the top tether; my husband had to tighten it. I wouldn't have been able to install the seat on my own.

It does not have a top tether. The seat is primarily for use with a seat belt installation. The back provides the child with side impact protection but it can be removed as used as a base only seat. The purpose of the latch on this seat is to hold the seat in a secure position when the seat is not in use. The latch prevents it from being a projectile in the car when the child is not in it.

You can only use seat belt or the latch system to install the car seat when using the seat with the harness. The top tether can be used in both installations but you may not use both the latch and seat belt to install the carseat in the belt path. When using as a booster you may use the latch to secure the seat to the car and use the seat belt to secure the child to the seat.

I never used ours whole in the car but I don't see why it wouldn't work. It clips right to the diaper and then dress the baby and your set. We LOVED ours.

Kind of yes because although they are steel straps they stick to the inside of the car only by velcro which may be easy to pull out. In my case, I made a cable (out of a metal wire with plastic casing), looped it around one end (near the velcro straps) and used a padlock to secure the other end to a hook inside the trunk. This may prevent people from pulling it out.

It can only be used where there are anchors for a child seat. Check by feeling on the sides inside the crack of the seat, there should be metal bars on each side. If not, then two of the three points used for the restraint would be cut out of the picture, and it would have to be used in the back to really serve its purpose.

If u have a straight across front or back seat then probably not; the bottom strap that goes around the seat is adjustable and has length but the strap in the picture does not unless u have a narrow top to attach to ur seat. Or u can place the car seat on ur seat front or back and use ur seatbelt to keep the seat secure my main concern was to attach my puppy to the car seat with her harness so so was secure while I was driving. I love it though Sorry, I hope I was able to answer ur question Happy Holidays L

I would say not a good place. The shoulder part of the car seatbelt feeds through a clip at the child's shoulder and then the lap part of the car seat belt goes over their lap and connects. The car seat does not have any belts on it.

It's attached by a tether. It clips onto the back seat (in an SUV). Not sure how it works in a car.
