Booster Seats - Ford F-650 2025 Owner's Manual

5. Clip the tether strap to the anchor as
shown.
If the tether strap is clipped incorrectly, the
child restraint may not be retained properly
in the event of a crash.
6. Tighten the child restraint tether strap
according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
If you do not anchor the child restraint
properly, the risk of a child being injured in
a crash greatly increases.
If your child restraint system has a tether
strap and the child restraint manufacturer
recommends its use, we also recommend
its use.

BOOSTER SEATS

WARNING: Do not put the shoulder
section of the seatbelt or allow the child
to put the shoulder section of the
seatbelt under their arm or behind their
back. Failure to follow this instruction
could reduce the effectiveness of the
seatbelt and increase the risk of injury or
death in a crash.
Use a belt-positioning booster seat for
children who have outgrown or no longer
properly fit in a child safety restraint
(generally children who are less than 57 in
(1.45 m) tall, are greater than age 4 and
less than age 12, and between 40 lb (18 kg)
and 80 lb (36 kg) and upward to 100 lb
(45 kg) if recommended by your child
restraint manufacturer). Many state and
provincial laws require that children use
approved booster seats until they reach
age eight, a height of 57 in (1.45 m) tall, or
80 lb (36 kg).
Booster seats should be used until you can
answer YES to ALL of these questions
when seated without a booster seat:
