ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A passenger restraint with an automatic locking tether. A three point belt assembly includes a retractor (14) mounted to the vehicle (15) with the belt (16) extendable therefrom having an outer end attached to a bracket (18) movably mounted to a first automatic locking tether (25). A buckle (21) mounted to the opposite side of the seat (10) is movably mounted to a second automatic locking tether secured to the seat (10). Both tethers include a cam member (38) pivotally mounted thereto having a locking pad (57) movable against a web (60) extending into the tether. One end (72) of the web (60) is fastened to the vehicle floor (13) whereas the opposite end of the web is attached to a spring biased reel (74). A spring (48) urges the pad (57) apart from the web (60) allowing for vertical and horizontal adjustment of the seat. Passenger loading during a crash moves the cam member (38) with pad (57) against the web (60) anchoring the tether and seat to the vehicle floor via the web.
