Seating and Safety Restraints 6. Attach the tether strap (if the child seat is equipped). Refer to Attaching child safety seats with tether straps later in this chapter. 7. Before placing the child in the seat, forcibly move the seat forward and back to make sure the seat is securely held in place. To check this, grab the seat at the belt path and attempt to move it side to side and forward. There should be no more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) of movement for proper installation. 8. Ford recommends checking with a NHTSA Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) to make certain the child restraint is properly installed. In Canada, check with your local St. John Ambulance office for referral to a CPST. Attaching child safety seats with LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) attachments The LATCH system is composed of three vehicle anchor points: two (2) lower anchors located where the vehicle seat back and seat cushion meet (called the "seat bight") and one (1) top tether anchor located behind that seating position. Your vehicle is not equipped with the lower anchor points in the seat bight. For this vehicle use the vehicle safety belt and upper tether to secure a child seat. See Attaching child safety seats with tether straps and Recommendations for attaching safety restraints for children in this chapter for more information. Attaching child safety seats with tether straps Many forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap which extends from the back of the child safety seat and hooks to an anchoring point called the top tether anchor. Tether straps are available as an accessory for many older safety seats. Contact the manufacturer of your child seat for information about ordering a tether strap, or to obtain a longer tether strap if the tether strap on your safety seat does not reach the appropriate top tether anchor in the vehicle. The passenger seats of your vehicle may be equipped with built-in tether strap anchors located behind the seats as described below. The tether anchors in your vehicle may be straps on the seatback or an anchor bracket mounted to the body shell on the back panel. 206 2012 F-250/350/450/550 (f23) Owners Guide, 4th Printing USA (fus)

6. Attach the tether strap (if the child seat is equipped). Refer to

Attaching child safety seats with tether straps

later in this chapter.

7. Before placing the child in the

seat, forcibly move the seat forward

and back to make sure the seat is

securely held in place. To check

this, grab the seat at the belt path

and attempt to move it side to side

and forward. There should be no

more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) of

movement for proper installation.

8. Ford recommends checking with

a NHTSA Certified Child Passenger

Safety Technician (CPST) to make certain the child restraint is properly

installed. In Canada, check with your local St. John Ambulance office for

referral to a CPST.

Attaching child safety seats with LATCH (Lower Anchors and

Tethers for CHildren) attachments

The LATCH system is composed of three vehicle anchor points: two (2)

lower anchors located where the vehicle seat back and seat cushion meet

(called the “seat bight”) and one (1) top tether anchor located behind

that seating position. Your vehicle is

not

equipped with the lower anchor

points in the seat bight. For this vehicle use the vehicle safety belt and

upper tether to secure a child seat. See

Attaching child safety seats

with tether straps

and

Recommendations for attaching safety

restraints for children

in this chapter for more information.

Attaching child safety seats with tether straps

Many forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap which

extends from the back of the child safety seat and hooks to an anchoring

point called the top tether anchor. Tether straps are available as an

accessory for many older safety seats. Contact the manufacturer of your

child seat for information about ordering a tether strap, or to obtain a

longer tether strap if the tether strap on your safety seat does not reach

the appropriate top tether anchor in the vehicle.

The passenger seats of your vehicle may be equipped with built-in tether

strap anchors located behind the seats as described below.

The tether anchors in your vehicle may be straps on the seatback or an

anchor bracket mounted to the body shell on the back panel.
