Posted at 16:01h, 04 JuneIs the energy absorbent tether anchor loop pictured for sale on this page, the same as the one demonstrated in the video on this page? In some ways they do not appear to be the same product.
Also, how long is the EATAL?

Posted at 19:58h, 04 JuneYes. It’s the same thing. It’s about 9-10″, enough to wrap around something and loop through itself.

Posted at 13:26h, 05 JuneThank you! I will look forward to purchasing some for our pre-school mini-bus that has seats more like mini-vans than like bench-type bus seats.

Posted at 14:26h, 18 SeptemberCan the EATAL be used for typical (5point harness) seats in vehicles that don’t have enough tether anchors?
(My van only has 1 anchor in the 3rd row but I need 3).

Posted at 15:02h, 18 SeptemberThe EATA Loop has not been crash tested for use with other child restraints so the official manufacturer answer would be no.

Posted at 16:02h, 11 AugustWe’ve talked to a lot of people this summer about how to properly set up RideSafer in an RV. While there have been a few returns for it just not working, most have not returned. But no one has sent in pictures of their set up so we can say as a matter of fact what was successful. It really depends on the RV and how the dinette is set up ie. is there a back to it or just a cushion and what is there to connect an EATA Loop to.

Posted at 19:52h, 25 AugustHi, we are looking for the Ridesafer set up for our class C motor home. We only have lap belts on the benches/seats/sofa, I am wondering will it matter what position do they ride on? Will it provide the same safety future for kids different facing setting ? such as long sofa side ride or rear ride bench as well was back facing couch seat? Again All of them has a lap belt only. TIA

Posted at 09:40h, 26 AugustHi Tina, Like other harness child restraints, the RideSafer can be used with a lap-only belt and a tether anchor in a forward facing vehicle seat. The tether is required when using the RideSafer with a lap-only belt to provide the upper body restraint.

Posted at 08:27h, 15 DecemberHow high does the back of the seat need to be in order for the tether to be effective?
Amie
Posted at 12:30h, 15 DecemberIdeally the child would have head support at least to ear height. If there is a head rest and you are asking about the height of the seat only, it should be at least to the child’s shoulders. If you are asking in regard to an RV, we would emphasis that the back of the seat should be something structural and not just a cushion.
