Child Safety • Standard safety belt 27 • Inflatable safety belt 9. Attach the tether strap (if the child seat is equipped). Refer to Using tether straps later in this chapter. 10. 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 and back. There should be no more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) of movement for proper installation. 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. 2013 MKT (mkt) Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
