criticalTether, Lower Anchor (on car seat or vehicle)
Filed: Apr 2026

The lower rigid LATCH connector on your vehicle may incorrectly show a green "secure" indicator when the car seat isn't actually fully latched, especially when you're adjusting it into position. This could be dangerous because parents might not double-check and could travel with an improperly secured car seat without realizing it. The issue may involve inspecting or adjusting the lower anchor attachment points to ensure they reliably indicate when a proper connection is made.
