Seating and Safety Restraints Each time you use the safety seat, check that the seat is properly attached to the lower anchors and tether anchor. Try to tilt the child seat from side to side. Also try to tug the seat forward. Check to see if the anchors hold the seat in place. If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being injured in a crash greatly increases. 142 2007 Grand Marquis (grn) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
