DISCUSSION

User-ready child restraint tether strap anchors will be provided in passenger cars in the 2000 Model Year, and in light truck in the 2001 Model Year. Tether straps improve the performance of child restraints in collisions. Because of the publicity that has accompanied the "Fit for a kid" Program, owners of earlier products are expected to approach dealers for the free provision and installation of the anchor hardware. DaimlerChrysler Corporation is offering child seat tether anchors for the selected vehicles listed above. Each tether anchor is packaged in a kit containing all necessary parts and a detailed instruction sheet.
