Default Tethering a Rear Facing Car Seat?

I have an 13 S7 (thought there would be more eyeballs here) and have a real facing car seat in it at times. The SUVs we have used always had area under the front seat to tether the car seat to. There doesn't seem to be anywhere to do it on the 7's though? Wanted to make sure I'm not missing some secret spot. I believe its not absolutely necessary to tether it to the front seat.. but when the car seat is, it just seems to much more stable

I have the car seat rear-facing in the center position of the rear seat in the A7, but you're correct - you would only use the latch attachments. And i believe for a secondary harness, there are the latches on the rear shelf near the rear headrests that can be used (typically used for front facing). I have never used those as i find them awkward to use for rear-facing.

Got it. Thanks. Yeah, for the forward facing car seat, there are latches behind the headrest that we use. From what I read, you don't have to use the tether on the rear facing seat.. but ti seems much more stable when its used in our SUV. I am guessing the bucket seats in the S7 also don't help.

From what I have read about child safety in a car, some give in the way the seat is held is an advantage as opposed to a very rigid installation.
