necessary to remove the remainingslack that will exist once the extraweight of the child is added to the childrestraint. It also helps to achieve theproper snugness of the child seat toyour vehicle. Sometimes, a slight leantoward the buckle will help to removeremaining slack from the belt.
9.Attach the tether strap (if the child seatis equipped).
10. Before placing the child in the seat,forcibly move the seat forward andback to make sure the seat is securelyheld in place.
To check this, grab the seat at the belt pathand attempt to move it side to side andforward and back. There should be nomore than 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) ofmovement for proper installation.

Ford recommends checking with a NHTSACertified Child Passenger SafetyTechnician to make certain the childrestraint is properly installed. In Canada,check with your local St. John Ambulanceoffice for referral to a Child PassengerSafety Technician.
Using Lower Anchors and Tethersfor CHildren (LATCH)
The LATCH system is composed of threevehicle anchor points: two lower anchorslocated where the vehicle seatback andseat cushion meet (called the seat bight)and one top tether anchor located behindthat seating position. Your vehicle is notequipped with the lower anchor points inthe seat bight. For this vehicle, use thevehicle safety belt and upper tether tosecure a child seat.
Using Tether Straps
Many forward-facing child safety seatsinclude a tether strap which extends fromthe back of the child safety seat and hooksto an anchoring point called the top tetheranchor. Tether straps are available as anaccessory for many older safety seats.Contact the manufacturer of your childseat for information about ordering atether strap, or to obtain a longer tetherstrap if the tether strap on your safety seatdoes not reach the appropriate top tetheranchor in the vehicle.
The passenger seats of your vehicle maybe equipped with built-in tether strapanchors located behind the seats asdescribed below.
The tether anchors in your vehicle may bestraps on the seat back or an anchorbracket mounted to the body shell on theback panel.
The SuperCab rear seat has three strapsbehind the top of the seatback thatfunction as both routing loops for thetether straps and anchor loops.
The tether strap anchors in your vehicleare in the following positions (shown fromtop view):

4. Remove the tether cover.
5. Clip the tether strap to the anchor asshown.
Front seats (Regular Cab) and Rear seats(Crew Cab)
If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly, thechild safety seat may not be retainedproperly in the event of a crash.
6. Tighten the child safety seat tether strapaccording to the manufacturer'sinstructions.
If the safety seat is not anchored properly,the risk of a child being injured in a crashgreatly increases.
If your child restraint system is equippedwith a tether strap, and the child restraintmanufacturer recommends its use, Fordalso recommends its use.
Tether Strap Attachment (RearSuperCab Only)
There are three loops of webbing justabove the back of the rear seat (along thebottom edge of the rear window) in theSuperCab. Use these loops as both routingloops and anchor loops for up to threechild safety seat tether straps.
You can secure these straps below theback of the seat with rubber bands. Toaccess, reach below the back of the seatand pull the tether loop out of the rubberband securing it.
Many tether straps cannot be tightened ifthe tether strap is hooked to the loopdirectly behind the child seat. To providea tight tether strap:
1.Route the tether strap through the loopdirectly behind the child seat.

2. Attach the strap hook onto the loopbehind an adjacent seating position.
3.Install the child safety seat tightly usingthe vehicle belts. Follow theinstructions in this chapter.
4. Tighten the tether strap according tothe child seat manufacturer'sinstructions.
You can use a single loop to route andanchor more than one child seat. Forexample, use the center loop as a routingloop for a child safety seat in the centerrear seat and as an anchoring loop for childseats installed in the outboard rear seats.
BOOSTER SEATS
WARNING
Never place, or allow a child to place,the shoulder belt under a child's armor behind the back because itreduces the protection for the upper partof the body and may increase the risk ofinjury or death in a crash.
Use a belt-positioning booster seat forchildren who have outgrown or no longerproperly fit in a child safety seat (generallychildren who are less than 4 feet 9 inches(1.45 meters) tall, are greater than age four(4) and less than age twelve (12), andbetween 40 pounds (18 kilograms) and
80 pounds (36 kilograms) and upward to100 pounds (45 kilograms) ifrecommended by your child restraintmanufacturer). Many state and provinciallaws require that children use approvedbooster seats until they reach age eight, aheight of 4 feet 9 inches (1.45 meters) tall,or 80 pounds (36 kilograms).
Booster seats should be used until you cananswer YES to ALL of these questionswhen seated without a booster seat:
•Can the child sit all the way backagainst their vehicle seat back withknees bent comfortably at the edge ofthe seat cushion?
•Can the child sit without slouching?
•Does the lap belt rest low across thehips?
•Is the shoulder belt centered on theshoulder and chest?
•Can the child stay seated like this forthe whole trip?
Always use booster seats in conjunctionwith your vehicle lap and shoulder belt.
