Child car seats are often installed incorrectly, increasing the risk that an infant or toddler will be injured in a crash.
New regulations aim to make installation easier.
As of Sept. 1, most new cars were required to have an anchor behind the back seat that can attach to a tether on a front-facing child car seat. If you bought a car seat that didn't come with a tether, call the seat manufacturer and ask if you can get a tether retrofit. If you don't plan to buy a new car, contact your car manufacturer's customer-service representative to find out how and where to get a tether anchor installed.
