GENERAL INFORMATION
See the following sections for directions on how to properly use safety
restraints for children.
WARNING: Always make sure your child is secured properly in a
device that is appropriate for their height, age and weight. Child
safety restraints must be bought separately from your vehicle. Failure
to follow these instructions and guidelines may result in an increased
risk of serious injury or death to your child.
WARNING: All children are shaped differently. The
recommendations for safety restraints are based on probable
child height, age and weight thresholds from NHTSA and other safety
organizations, or are the minimum requirements of law. Ford
recommends checking with a NHTSA Certified Child Passenger Safety
Technician and consulting your pediatrician to make sure your child
seat is appropriate for your child, and is compatible with and properly
installed in your vehicle. To locate a child seat fitting station and CPST,
contact the NHTSA toll free at 1-888-327-4236 or locate NHTSA on the
internet. In Canada, check with your local St. John Ambulance office
for referral to a CPST or for further information, contact your provincial
ministry of transportation, or locate your local St. John Ambulance
office by searching for St. John Ambulance on the internet, or
Transport Canada at 1–800–333–0371 (http://www.tc.gc.ca). Failure to
properly restrain children in safety seats made especially for their
height, age, and weight may result in an increased risk of serious injury
or death to your child.
