Ford F-150 Owner's Manual page 30

If your child restraint system is equipped
with a tether strap, and the child restraint
manufacturer recommends its use, Ford
also recommends its use.
Rear Seat Tether Strap
Attachment (SuperCab and
SuperCrew)
E167009
There are three loops of webbing just
above the back of the rear seat (along the
bottom edge of the rear window). Use
these loops as both routing loops and
anchor loops for up to three child safety
seat tether straps.
For example, the center loop can be used
as a routing loop for a child safety seat in
the center rear seat and as an anchoring
loop for child seats installed in the
outboard rear seats.
Many tether straps cannot be tightened if
the tether strap is hooked to the loop
directly behind the child seat. To provide
a tight tether strap:

Child Safety

1. Route the tether strap under the head
restraint and through the loop directly
behind the child seat.
E162715
2. Route the tether strap behind the head
restraint supports to a loop behind an
adjacent seating position, and hook the
strap hook onto the loop. If using the
driver's side, pass the strap behind the
shoulder belt mounting for the center
seat. Always put the tether strap
through the routing loop. The head
restraint support post will hold the
child seat tightly, but the head restraint
post is not strong enough to hold the
child seat during a crash.
3. Tighten the tether strap according to
the child seat manufacturer's
instructions.
If the safety seat is not anchored properly,
the risk of a child being injured in a crash
greatly increases.
