I like the comment about not skipping leg day.

Impressive car seat anchor strength though.

Figure those straps are tiny enough they would give way before the anchors bent the car?

I can't tell if those are ratchet straps, or cam buckle. It would be even more impressive if the latter.

There's a Grand Cherokee literally adjacent to them. They are dumb.

How would that help, the Grand Cherokee is old and wouldn't have ISOFix/Latch anchors?

I'm not thinking they used the Latch anchors. It was most likely either the luggage tire downs, or the car seat tether attachment point. Neither of which consists of much more than a screw through sheet metal.
