WARNING: Because the last row of seats in the 12 passenger

and 15 passenger configuration is not equipped with LATCH

anchors and is spaced closer to the row of seats in front, Do not use

forward-facing or rear-facing child seats (other than belt-positioning

boosters) in the last row.

Children and safety belts

If the child is the proper size, restrain the child in a safety seat. Children

who are too large for child safety seats (as specified by your child safety

seat manufacturer) should always wear safety belts.

Follow all the important safety restraint and airbag precautions that

apply to adult passengers in your vehicle.

If the shoulder belt portion of a combination lap and shoulder belt can

be positioned so it does not cross or rest in front of the child’s face or

neck, the child should wear the lap and shoulder belt. Moving the child

closer to the center of the vehicle may help provide a good shoulder belt

fit.

WARNING: Do not leave children, unreliable adults, or pets

unattended in your vehicle.

Child booster seats

Children outgrow a typical convertible or toddler seat when they weigh

40 lb (18 kg) and are around four years of age. Although the

lap/shoulder belt will provide some protection, these children are still too

small for lap/shoulder belts to fit properly, which 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.

Booster seats position a child so that safety belts fit better. They lift the

child up so that the lap belt rests low across the hips and the knees

bend comfortably. Booster seats may also make the shoulder belt fit

better and more comfortably. Try to keep the belt near the middle of the

shoulder.
