    Bumping. How do you top tether the Swedish style top tether on Radians for rear facing in Australia? My car doesn't have anchor points on the floor below the carseat as its designed for Australian tethering.

    Hi dusty,
    we ended up with the Maxi-Cosi milofix which we imported from the UK. The top tether attaches back over the seat like the australian top tether. We are sonso happy with it

    Hi Dusty you can do it a couple of ways depending on your car. The tethers can go around the seat bite, or around the seat rails that attach to the floor of the car IYKWIM. Make sure it is the seat rail though not a little loop at the end that won't hold in an accident. PM me if you'd like some pictures to show you

    We used seat rails. Move the front seat (the one in front of the spot you will be installing) all the way up as close to dashboard as you can. You should then see "exposed" seat rail. It may be tight, but slip the little part (I'm so not tech-y on this) under the rail and loop it through (no twisting). You can now move the front seat back (or really, after you do the whole install as it's easier with the front forward until you finish). This becomes your bottom anchor for the tether. If I recall, googling lead me to some photos or a video on youtube - can't remember which.
