Land Rover Discovery: Installing tether anchorage child restraints
Always follow the child seat or
restraint system manufacturer's
instructions when fitting tether
straps.
When fitting a child seat or
restraint system, always pass the
tether strap over the top of the
seatback and beneath the head
restraint.
If removing a head restraint in
order to fit a child restraint,
always secure the head restraint
when storing it.
If a child seat or restraint system
is to be fitted to the centre
seating position, the centre
armrest must be in the stowed
position (folded into the seat).
The vehicle is equipped with tether
anchorage points behind the second row
seat frames. These should be used to
attach straps from child seats or restraint
systems.
Note: A tether anchorage is provided for
the centre seat position. Do not use this
anchor position with an ISOFIX child seat.
Always fit the upper tether anchorage and
tighten correctly.

Tether strap anchor point locations:
- Fixed rear seats.
- Sliding rear seats.
Install the tether straps as follows:
- Install the child restraint securely in
one of the rear seating positions.
- Pass the tether strap over the
seatback, beneath the head restraint
and between the seatback and the
loadspace cover.
- Attach the tether strap hook to the
tether anchor point on the back of the
seat. Make sure the tether strap hook
is facing the correct way, as illustrated.
- Tighten the tether strap according to
the manufacturer's instructions.
Note: For 5 seat vehicles fitted with sliding
seats, the loadspace floor should be lifted
and moved rearwards. This is to allow
access to the tether anchor points. The
loadspace floor should be replaced after
attaching the tether straps.
Australian vehicles only
For 5 and 7 seat vehicles fitted with sliding
rear seats, the seats should be adjusted
to the foremost position prior to attaching
the tether straps. The seats should then
be returned to the rearmost position to
aid fitment of the child seat.
