CHILD RESTRAINTS RECOMMENDATION
Recommended Restraint TypeChild Size, Height, Weight, or Age
Use a child restraint (sometimescalled an infant carrier, convertibleseat, or toddler seat).
Children weighing 40 lb (18 kg) or less (generallyage four or younger).
Use a belt-positioning boosterseat.
Children who have outgrown or no longer properlyfit in a child restraint (generally children who areless than 57 in (1.45 m) tall, are greater than agefour and less than age 12, and between 40 lb (18 kg)and 80 lb (36 kg) and upward to 100 lb (45 kg) ifrecommended by your child restraint manufacturer).
Use a vehicle seatbelt having thelap belt snug and low across thehips, shoulder belt centered acrossthe shoulder and chest, and seatbackrest upright.
Children who have outgrown or no longer properlyfit in a belt-positioning booster seat (generally chil-dren who are at least 57 in (1.45 m) tall or greaterthan 80 lb (36 kg) or 100 lb (45 kg) if recommendedby child restraint manufacturer).
You are required by law to properly usechild restraints for infants and toddlers inthe United States, Canada and Mexico.
Many states and provinces require thatsmall children use approved booster seatsuntil they reach age eight, a height of 57 in(1.45 m) tall, or 80 lb (36 kg). Check yourlocal and state or provincial laws forspecific requirements about the safety ofchildren in your vehicle.
When possible, properly restrain children12 years of age and under in a rear seatingposition of your vehicle. Accident statisticssuggest that children are safer whenproperly restrained in the rear seatingpositions than in a front seating position.
When installing a rear facing child restraint,adjust the vehicle seats to avoidinterference between the child restraintand the vehicle seat in front of the childrestraint.
INSTALLING CHILD
RESTRAINTS
USING SEATBELTS
WARNING: Depending on whereyou secure a child restraint, anddepending on the child restraint design,you may block access to certain seatbeltbuckle assemblies and LATCH loweranchors, rendering those featurespotentially unusable. To avoid risk ofinjury, make sure occupants only useseating positions where they are able tobe properly restrained.
Note:Although the child restraintillustrated is a forward-facing child restraint,the steps are the same for installing arear-facing child restraint.
Perform the following steps wheninstalling the child restraint with seatbelts:
34
2023 Maverick (CFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202208, First-PrintingChild Safety

1.Position the child restraint in a seatwith a seatbelt.
2.After positioning the child restraint inthe proper seating position, pull downon the shoulder belt and then grasp theshoulder belt and lap belt togetherbehind the belt tongue.
3.While holding the shoulder and lap beltportions together, route the tonguethrough the child restraint accordingto the child restraint manufacturer'sinstructions. Make sure that you did nottwist the belt webbing.
4.Insert the belt tongue into the properbuckle (the buckle closest to thedirection the tongue is coming from)for that seating position until you heara snap and feel the latch engage. Makesure the tongue is latched securely bypulling on it.
5.To put the retractor in the automaticlocking mode, grasp the shoulderportion of the belt and pull downwarduntil you pull all of the belt out.
Note:The automatic locking mode isavailable on the front passenger and rearseats.
6.Allow the belt to retract to removeslack. The belt clicks as it retracts toindicate it is in the automatic lockingmode.

7.Try to pull the belt out of the retractorto make sure the retractor is in theautomatic locking mode. You shouldnot be able to pull more belt out. If theretractor did not lock, unbuckle the beltand repeat Steps 5 and 6.
8.Remove remaining slack from the belt.Force the seat down with extra weight,for example, by pressing down orkneeling on the child restraint whilepulling up on the shoulder belt in orderto force slack from the belt. This isnecessary to remove the remainingslack that exists once you add the extraweight of the child to the child restraint.It also helps to achieve the propersnugness of the child restraint to yourvehicle. Sometimes, a slight leantoward the buckle will provide extrahelp to remove remaining slack fromthe belt.
9.If the child restraint has a tether strap,attach it.
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 theseat at the belt path and attempt tomove it side to side and forward andback. There should be no more than1 in (2.5 cm) of movement.
We recommend checking with a NHTSACertified Child Passenger SafetyTechnician to make certain the childrestraint is properly installed. In Canada,check with Transport Canada for referralto a Child Car Seat Clinic.
USING LOWER ANCHORS ANDTETHERS FOR CHILDREN
WARNING: Do not attach two childsafety restraints to the same anchor. Ina crash, one anchor may not be strongenough to hold two child safety restraintattachments and may break, causingserious injury or death.
