I am unable to get a tether anchorage installed in my vehicle, and want to know how I can go about getting one and having it installed. Toyota has told me they cannot sell me the part or have it installed, because the "bolt" is not approved by the us government. Help please!

The extendable foot used to adjust the angle of the century smart fit plus infant seat has broken during normal use/installation. The plastic guides along which the foot moves up and down have been bent toward the rear of the infant seat base, allowing the foot to collapse and letting the seat-base combo settle to an improper angle. It appears that the act of tightening the seat belts across the base exerted enough pressure to bend the guides. The prduct was a century smart fit plus, ser. #4529, manufactured 4-21-98. This was discovered by, and is reported here by, officer mark bergin, alexandria va police department child seat safety cordinator, 703-838-4763
