Seating and Safety Restraints Your vehicle has LATCH anchors for child seat installation at the following seating positions. Never attach two LATCH child safety seats to the same anchor. In a crash, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two child safety seat attachments and may break, causing serious injury or death. The lower anchors for child seat installation are located at the rear section of the second row seat between the cushion and seatback. The anchors on the 2nd row outboard seats are provided only to install child seats at the outboard seats. DO NOT install a child seat at the center 2nd row seat using LATCH attachments (rigid or mounted on belt webbing) mounted to the inboard lower anchors at the outboard seats. If you install a child seat at the center 2nd row position, use the vehicle belt and the top tether anchor. Follow the child seat manufacturer's instructions to properly install a child seat with LATCH attachments. The plastic LATCH guides can be obtained from an authorized dealer. They snap onto the LATCH lower anchors in the seat to help attach a child seat with rigid attachments. The guides hold the seat trim away to expose the anchor and make it easier to attach some child seats. 210 2008 07+ Explorer Sport Trac (esp) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
