Built-In Child Seat; Proper Child Shoulder Height - Ford 1996 Escort Manual

Built-In Child Seat (If Equipped)
The optional rear seat may include a built-in
child seat. This child restraint is to be used only
by children who are at least one year old, weigh
between 20 and 60 pounds (9 and 27 kilograms)
and whose shoulders (top) are below the
shoulder harness slots. See Figure 1.
Figure 1: Proper child shoulder height
If your child is less than one year old or weighs
less than 20 pounds (9 kilograms), always use a
rear facing infant or convertible seat because a
child of that size is not sufficiently developed to
withstand crash forces in a front facing position.
Follow the specific manufacturer's instructions
for weight and height restrictions.
Children must be properly buckled before riding
in the vehicle. It is the law in every state and
province. This child seat conforms to all
Federal/Canadian motor vehicle safety
standards.
The rear seatback must be fully locked
before operating the child restraint system.
Ensure that the latch release buttons are in the
full up (locked) positions on both sides of the
seat.
