8. Remove remaining slack from the belt.
Force the seat down with extra weight,
for example, by pressing down or
kneeling on the child restraint while
pulling up on the shoulder belt in order
to force slack from the belt. This is
necessary to remove the remaining
slack that will exist once the extra
weight of the child is added to the child
restraint. It also helps to achieve the
proper snugness of the child seat to
your vehicle. Sometimes, a slight lean
toward the buckle will help to remove
remaining slack from the belt.
9. Attach the tether strap (if the child seat
is equipped).

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 centimeters) of
movement for proper installation.
Ford recommends checking with a NHTSA
Certified Child Passenger Safety
Technician to make certain the child
restraint is properly installed. In Canada,
check with your local St. John Ambulance
office for referral to a Certified Passenger
Seat Technician.

(Front Center Seating Position)
WARNINGS
Airbags can kill or injure a child in a
child seat. If you must use a
forward-facing child seat in the front
seat, move the vehicle seat upon which
the seat is installed all the way back.
Rear facing child seats should never
be placed in front of an active airbag.
Always use both lap and shoulder
safety belt in the center seating
position.
The belt webbing below the tongue is the
lap portion of the combination lap and
shoulder belt, and the belt webbing above
