Hooks in rear cargo area?
 
What is the purpose of the hooks in the rear cargo area?

The ones at the top of the rear are for child restraints.

Yes, for tethers for child seats. Child restraints sounds so wrong :)

Thanks. That seems like an odd place for tethers for child seats.

I thought so too, but after googling a bit, I found out that is part of the LATCH system: "Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children"

The top tether keeps the child seat from moving forward.

OK, child SEAT restraints! I recommend duct tape for child restraints.

On mine, I have a fourth hook in the rear. It is to hang up a suit, or something, I guess. It is located on the far passenger side, just above the rear most side window.

I don't know if they all have this. Possibly it is because I have the side airbags which eliminates the rear assist handles?

Possible, sounds like my '06. LOL, I didn't realize that was for latch, I thought it was hanger slot. :zip:

Yes, the one on the passenger side is a clothes hanger.
I wish there was one on BOTH sides so I could put a pole across and have room for about 25 hangers. But I guess, due to the battery air vent, you one get one. :cry:
