FORD 2013 F-550 v.2 - Manual (Page 19)

GENERAL INFORMATION
See the following sections for directions on how to properly use safety
restraints for children.
WARNING: Always make sure your child is secured properly
in a device that is appropriate for their height, age and weight.
Child safety restraints must be bought separately from your vehicle.
Failure to follow these instructions and guidelines may result in an
increased risk of serious injury or death to your child.
WARNING: All children are shaped differently. The
recommendations for safety restraints are based on probable
child height, age and weight thresholds from NHTSA and other safety
organizations, or are the minimum requirements of law. Ford recommends
checking with a NHTSA Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician and
consulting your pediatrician to make sure your child seat is appropriate
for your child, and is compatible with and properly installed in your
vehicle. To locate a child seat fitting station and CPST, contact the
NHTSA toll free at 1-888-327-4236 or locate NHTSA on the internet.
In Canada, check with your local St. John Ambulance office for referral
to a CPST or for further information, contact your provincial ministry
of transportation, or locate your local St. John Ambulance office by
searching for St. John Ambulance on the internet, or Transport Canada
at 1–800–333–0371 (http://www.tc.gc.ca). Failure to properly restrain
children in safety seats made especially for their height, age, and weight
may result in an increased risk of serious injury or death to your child.
