<div class="bbWrapper">Our 2020 Ram 2500 Crew Cab has a terrible setup to anchor a Car Seat behind the rear seat it uses straps.<br /> <br /> Has anyone tried to place an anchor point either on the back cab wall or on the floor behind the rear seat?</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">That strap is crash tested. I wouldn’t trust something that hasn’t been.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">That&#039;s just for the top, there are hard anchors for the seat base that are primary.<br /> <br /> The &quot;strap&quot; is no different than a seatbelt or the strap that&#039;s on the car seat. You&#039;re also supposed to go through that strap to an adjacent strap for hookup. Examples are in the OM.<br /> <br /> I see a lot of posts complaining someone can&#039;t get the top strap tight enough and it&#039;s because they&#039;re doing it wrong.<br /> <br /> The system is LATCH-compatible and crash certified.<br /> <br /> &quot;LATCH-compatible child restraint systems will<br /> be equipped with a rigid bar or a flexible strap<br /> on each side.&quot;<br /> <br /> <a href="https://hdrams.com/forum/attachments/1681499454048-png.55121/" target="_blank"><img src="https://hdrams.com/forum/data/attachments/55/55121-b66e82c3579f7334212b39fd0acf3add.jpg?hash=tm6Cw1efcz" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1681499454048.png" title="1681499454048.png" width="216" height="150" loading="lazy" /></a></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">It’s pretty much just a change of direction for that anchor point. Seems to make it a bit easier to tension imho. I use it for a seat when we are on our family camping trips.</div>

You’ll have no idea if whatever you mount (or what you mount it to) will survive crash forces. Do you really want to risk a kid’s life because you don’t like the mounting method they chose?</div>
