To check this, grab the seat at the belt path and attempt to move it side
to side and forward and back. There should be no more than one inch
(two and a half centimeters) of movement for proper installation.
Ford recommends checking with a NHTSA Certified Child Passenger
Safety Technician (CPST) to make certain the child restraint is properly
installed. In Canada, check with your local St. John Ambulance office for
referral to a CPST.
Using Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH)
The LATCH system is composed of three vehicle anchor points: two
lower anchors located where the vehicle seat back and seat cushion meet
(called the seat bight) and one top tether anchor located behind that
seating position. Your vehicle is not equipped with the lower anchor
points in the seat bight. For this vehicle, use the vehicle safety belt and
upper tether to secure a child seat. See Using Tether Straps and
Recommendations for Safety Restraints for Children in this chapter
for more information.
USING TETHER STRAPS
Many forward-facing child safety seats include a tether strap which
extends from the back of the child safety seat and hooks to an anchoring
point called the top tether anchor. Tether straps are available as an
accessory for many older safety seats. Contact the manufacturer of your
child seat for information about ordering a tether strap, or to obtain a
longer tether strap if the tether strap on your safety seat does not reach
the appropriate top tether anchor in the vehicle.
The passenger seats of your vehicle may be equipped with built-in tether
strap anchors located behind the seats as described below.
The tether anchors in your vehicle may be straps on the seat back or an
anchor bracket mounted to the body shell on the back panel.
