3. Clip the tether strap to the

anchor as shown.

If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly, the child safety seat may not be

retained properly in the event of a collision.

4. Tighten the child safety seat tether strap according to the

manufacturer’s instructions.

If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being

injured in a collision greatly increases.

If your child restraint system is equipped with a tether strap, and the

child restraint manufacturer recommends its use, Ford also recommends

its use.

Child booster seats

The belt-positioning booster (booster seat) is used to improve the fit of

the vehicle safety belt. Children outgrow a typical child seat (e.g.,

convertible or toddler seat) when they weigh about 40 lb (18 kg) and are

around four (4) years of age. Consult your child safety seat owner guide

for the weight, height, and age limits specific to your child safety seat.

Keep your child in the child safety seat if it properly fits the child,

remains appropriate for their weight, height and age AND if properly

secured to the vehicle.

Although the lap/shoulder belt will provide some protection, children

who have outgrown a typical child seat are still too small for lap/shoulder

belts to fit properly, and wearing an improperly fitted vehicle safety belt

could increase the risk of serious injury in a crash. To improve the fit of

both the lap and shoulder belt on children who have outgrown child

safety seats, Ford Motor Company recommends use of a belt-positioning

booster.
