When did the tether system for car seats go into effect, and do you need to wear a seatbelt with it?

A tethered car seat *does* still need to be installed with a seatbelt or with LATCH. The tether is an *additional* anchor point for the seat for added safety.

Here's the info you wanted from the first website below:

"A top tether (or top strap) is the supplemental attachment now standard on almost every new carseat in the USA. Top tethers can be used with either the seat belt or with the lower anchors (as part of the LATCH system). In other countries, their use may be required by law."

"Most model year 2000 vehicles have tether anchors installed at the factory. Virtually all model year 2001 and later vehicles have tether anchors as well. Some vehicles like Ford Windstarâ„¢ have had standard tether anchors for many years."
