Do you use the tether in your car seat?

I do for my son's FF combo harness to booster but I have never used it for a rear facing seat.  I was on Britax website earlier and it had a few options but not sure what will work for my car (GMC Acadia).  Just curious who uses it RF and which method you use?

    Only Britax and Diono allow for RF tethering (I think), so I don't. But my understanding is that if your seat allows for it, it's best to do it.

    We have a Britax and have the option, but my car does not have a safe locking place to tether it rear facing.  It was stressful to figure out initially, but I am glad I am not using it incorrectly like I was going to when we first installed it!

    We have our Britax Advocate and Boulevard both tethered, RF. I had no idea there were different methods to do it though! They're tethered under the passenger seat, if that helps.

    I have a GMC Acadia too and have a britax Boulevard RF.  I tethered it to the drivers seat rail that is bolted to the car floor- I have captains chairs in the back seat so a carseat in the center isn't an option.  It works much better in this ca

    RF Britax in an Enclave (same body as Acadia).   We used the extra webbing supplied to create a tether point on the base of the driver's seat.  It wasn't in the Acadia manual explicitly enough for me, so I researched on car-seat . org

    I've got a Boulevard for my younget DD and a Diono RXT for my 2.5 year old. Both are RF and tethered to the seat rail in front of them. Swedish method, I guess. I've researched it quite a bit and went back and forth about what's safest. Ultimately, I deci
