Abstract
Disclosed herein are car seats and bases therefor. The base includes top tether and an energy-absorbing elongate finger. The tether includes webbing. The webbing is at least partially wrapped about the elongate finger. The elongate finger is configured to deform when a load applied thereto by the webbing exceeds a predetermined threshold so as to pay out the webbing from the base.
