What are these hooks?

I noticed these hook-like things behind the seat. It does not appear that they are in use for anything.

Child seat anchor?

Child seat anchor?

I am not familiar with how child seats attach, but that sounds unlikely. There are three of them, and are directly behind where one would sit.

It's similar to a trunk tie down an a car/SUV. Or the tie downs in your bed.

Child seat anchors....3 for the ability to fit 3 car seats....

They're for child car seats.
You can barely see the diagrams in the plastic.

Yeah, kinda. Just not recessed like my wife's Edge. So I guess they would come in handy with the seatback down and hauling something?

There should also be corresponding hooks where it hinges as well to hold the car seat down to the bottom of the vehicle seat.

Exactly.

Most newer car seats have a third tether in the upper center that clips into the hooks behind the seats.

Well I'll be darned. I found it in the owner's manual. Mystery solved. Thanks everybody.

Most car seats have an anchor that go up over the seat, that's where I hook the ones for my kids.

Good idea!

What a great idea. Never even crossed my mind to use this child seat anchor point for as dog's harness belt.
