Attaching Safety Seats With Tether Straps
*
[SR18410(BEF )03/01]
General Instructions
[SR18413(BEF )02/95]
Some manufacturers make safety seats that
include an upper tether strap that goes over the
seatback and attaches to an anchoring point.
Other manufacturers offer the tether strap as an
accessory. Contact the manufacturer of your
child safety seat for information about ordering
a tether strap.
[SR18415( F )02/95]
You can install a tether strap anchor bracket to
the cab inner back panel by using a tether
anchor bracket kit (613D74) available at no
charge from any Ford dealer.
*
[SR18420(BEF )03/91]
Read and follow the instructions provided with
the kit carefully for installation of the child
tether strap anchor.
*
[SR18501(BEF )03/91]
Follow the child seat manufacturer's instructions
to attach the tether strap to the tether bracket.
[SR18800( F )05/95]
Ford recommends placement of tethered safety
seats in a rear seating position (Crew Cab and
Super Cab with forward facing rear seat only)
with the tether strap installed to the tether
anchoring point as shown in the instructions
provided with the child tether strap anchor kit.
*
[SR18950(BEF )05/95]
RWARNING
Only use the tether attachment hole
locations shown in the illustrations. The
tether anchor may not perform properly if
the wrong mounting location is used.

[SR19100( F )12/91]
If a tethered seat is installed in the front seat,
Ford recommends placement of the tethered
safety seat in the center front seating position,
with the tether strap secured to the center rear
lap belt tongue or to the webbing of the buckled
center rear lap belt behind the child safety seat.
*
[SR19400(B F )04/95]
The rear lap/shoulder safety belts should not be
used to secure the tether strap of a safety seat
located in the front seat.
*
[SR19500(BEF )05/95]
RWARNING
Failure to follow these precautions could
increase the chance of injury in an
accident.
[SR19575( F )05/95]
In SuperCabs equipped with center facing jump
seats, the tether strap anchor bracket should be
installed only at the center of the cab's back
panel with the child seat in the front center
seating position. Installing an anchor bracket at
the right rear of the cab may increase risk of
injury to an occupant of the right rear center
facing jump seat in the event of a collision or
sudden stop. If a tethered child seat is installed
in the right front seating position, secure the
tether strap to the webbing of the buckled right
rear lap belt.
*
[SR19600( F )05/95]
RWARNING
Do not install a child seat in a center
facing jump seat.
