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.

You can only attach it if the back has posts or narrow bars. Otherwise the harness won't be able to loop around properly.

You could probably bungee a car seat to it (minus the baby) I think it would work

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.

This is not meant for use in a car. This is a booster seat for a dinner table. There are no significant safety straps and it could collapse on a car's seat.

I'm not sure where its attached to, but its not just the cloth. It's a firm tether. Correction: I took the seat apart to really look at it and the two tethers are attached to the cloth underneath the padded cushion -- but they're attached very firmly, so for smaller dogs it shouldn't be a problem. My dog is paralyzed in the rear end and the seat keeps her safe in the car, and she can stare at me easily while I'm driving! Great car seat/great buy.

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.

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

I would say those users are not attaching the safety tether to their dog's collar! My 12 lb. Poochon gets out also unless I attach it, but then is happy in the car seat & can see outside. You can also adjust the tether's length. I love this car seat, have also used it for my 20 lb. cat, who loves it!

I have not tried but in my highlander you have full access to seatbelts and the child seat clip on the seat back

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 not 100% sure about the year, but my sister had a safety first car seat and bought a Eddie Bauer base and it worked. So I would think it could work the other way around.

When rear facing, the tether is supposed to go from the top of the seat down to the floor. Newer cars have a hook that you can tether to, older cars you can tether to the seat base in front of the seat. There is a little loop attachment in the packaging to use if you need to loop around the seat base, and the clip is for clipping into the hook in newer vehicles.

Looking in my instructions manual.. it says that Britax reccomends the top tether be used at all times (to improve the stability of your car seat and to reduce risk of injury). But, that it MUST be used when in harness mode for children who weigh over 65 lbs. (I'm not seeing a top tether "must" for booster mode) Personally, I would check with Britax to be sure.

I am not sure. My Toyota Tacoma cap did not have have a tether. Great cap though. Over 2 years old and still working.

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