What the Energy Absorbing Tether Anchor Loop (aka EATAL) is and how to use it
Go here to buy an EATAL or here to learn more about the RideSafer.

Posted at 16:01h, 04 JuneIs the energy absorbent tether anchor loop pictured for sale on this page — https://shop.saferide4kids.com/products/ridesafer-energy-absorbing-tether-anchor-loop?variant=2438391619 — the same as the one demonstrated in the video on this page — https://saferide4kids.com/blog/using-eatal/ ? 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.
