To avoid risk ofinjury, make sure occupants only useseating positions where they are able tobe properly restrained.

Note:For vehicles with adjustable headrestraints, route the tether strap under thehead restraint and between the headrestraint posts. Otherwise, route the tetherstrap over the top of the seat backrest.
2.Locate the correct anchor for theselected seating position. You mayneed to pull the seat backrest forwardto access the tether anchors. Make surethe seat is locked in the upright positionbefore installing the child restraint.
3.Clip the tether strap to the anchor.
4.Tighten the child restraint tether strapaccording to the manufacturer'sinstructions.
If you incorrectly clip the tether strap, thechild restraint may not be retained properlyin the event of a crash.
If you did not properly anchor the childrestraint, the risk of a child being injured ina crash greatly increases.
If your child restraint system has a tetherstrap, and the child restraint manufacturerrecommends its use, we also recommendits use.
ATTACHING THE REAR SEATTETHER STRAP
Crew Cab and Super Cab
There are three loops of webbing abovethe back of the rear seat. Use these loopsas routing loops and anchor loops for upto three child restraint tether straps.
For example, you can use the center loopas a routing loop for a child restraint in thecenter rear seat and as an anchoring loopfor child restraints installed in theoutermost rear seats.
Many tether straps cannot be tightened ifthe tether strap is hooked to the loopdirectly behind the child restraint.
To provide a tight tether strap:
1.Route the vehicle tether loop betweenthe head restraint posts, then route thechild restraint tether strap through theloop, forward of the head restraint.
2.Hook the strap to the vehicle tetheranchor loop in the adjacent seatingposition. If using the driver side, passthe strap behind the shoulder belt forthe center seat. Put the tether strapthrough the routing loop. The headrestraint support post holds the childrestraint tightly, but the head restraintpost is not strong enough to hold thechild restraint during a crash.
3.Tighten the tether strap according tothe child restraint manufacturer'sinstructions.

If you did not properly anchor the childrestraint, the risk of a child being injured ina crash greatly increases.
If your child restraint system has a tetherstrap, and the child restraint manufacturerrecommends its use, we also recommendits use.
BOOSTER SEATS
Use a belt-positioning booster seat forchildren who have outgrown or no longerproperly fit in a child restraint and meetthe following criteria.
•Generally children who are less than57 in (1.45 m) tall.
•Are greater than age four (4) and lessthan age twelve (12).
•Are between 40 lb (18 kg) and 80 lb(36 kg) and upward to 100 lb (45 kg).
Many state and provincial laws require thatchildren use approved booster seats untilthey reach age eight, a height of 57 in(1.45 m) tall, or 80 lb (36 kg).
Booster seats should be used until you cananswer yes to all of these questions whenseated without a booster seat:
•Can the child sit all the way backagainst their vehicle seat backrest 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.
Types of Booster Seats
•Backless booster seats
If your backless booster seat has aremovable shield, remove the shield.
If a vehicle seating position has a low seatbackrest or no head restraint, a backlessbooster seat may place your child's head,as measured at the tops of the ears, abovethe top of the seat. In this case, move thebackless booster to another seatingposition with a higher seat backrest orhead restraint and lap and shoulder belts,or consider using a high-back booster seat.

2023 Super Duty (TFH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202211, DOMChild SafetyE142595 E68924

•High-back booster seats
If, with a backless booster seat, you cannotfind a seating position that adequatelysupports your child's head, a high-backbooster seat would be a better choice.
Children and booster seats vary in size andshape. Choose a booster that keeps thelap belt low and snug across the hips,never up across the stomach, and lets youadjust the shoulder belt to cross the chestand rest snugly near the center of theshoulder.
The following drawings compare the idealfit to a shoulder belt uncomfortably closeto the neck and a shoulder belt that couldslip off the shoulder. The drawings alsoshow how the lap belt should be low andsnug across the child's hips.
