They cost around $40 US. They do not need a tether. This is someting to watch for. Those that use tethers must be used with the tethers which means you cannot move them into another car -- ery inconvenient. The ones we bought are made to be strapped in using the car's seatbelt. After safety -- and at least in the US since January of 1981 all child seats had to comply with strict safety standards so make sure it is manufactured after that date -- the most important feature is ease of getting the child in and out. Believe me it is one of the things that adds lots of time onto a trip.
