My Vanagon is older, how does this Tether Bracket Kit help me install a modern child seat safely?

Modern child seats use a tether strap that anchors to your vehicle. Since the Vanagon was built before these anchors were standard, our Tether Bracket Kit provides the necessary mounting point. It’s designed specifically to give you a secure way to attach your child seat’s tether, enhancing safety for your little one on the road.

Is this child seat tether bracket difficult to install in my Vanagon?

Installation requires some basic tools and involves cutting and drilling into your vehicle. However, we provide complete step-by-step instructions and all the necessary hardware to guide you through the process. Many customers find it manageable with careful attention to the instructions.

How many tether kits do I need for my Vanagon?

You will need one Tether Bracket Kit for each child seat you plan to install using the tether system. The Vanagon can accommodate up to two seats with this kit, so purchase accordingly based on how many children you’ll be transporting.

Will this tether bracket work with my specific Vanagon model and year?

This Tether Bracket Kit is designed to fit all Vanagons with a pop-top, including full campers and Weekenders, from model years 1980 through 1991. It is compatible with both 2WD and 4WD models, and various configurations like passenger, Campmobile, and Westfalia models.

Most modern child seats are delivered from the manufacturer with a tether strap on the back that gets anchored to the vehicle itself, and modern vehicles have the anchor mount for just this purpose. Unfortunately, the Vanagon was built long before such safety measures were being employed. So what is a concerned parent to do?

Fear not. We have a solution for you! In response to the obvious demand, we developed our child seat tether kit. Installation is simple, although it does require some cutting and drilling. Complete step-by-step instructions and necessary hardware is provided.

One kit required per seat (up to two per vehicle).

Fits: All Vanagons with pop-top (full camper/Weekenders).
