(as specified by your child safety seat manufacturer) should always wear safety belts. Follow all the important safety restraint and airbag precautions that apply to adult passengers in your vehicle. 2007 Mariner (mrn) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 121 To improve the fit of both the lap and shoulder belt on children who have outgrown child safety seats, Ford Motor Company recommends use of a belt-positioning booster. Booster seats position a child so that safety belts fit better. They lift the child up so that the lap belt rests low across the hips and the knees bend comfortably.
Page 122 Either type can be used at any seating position equipped with lap/shoulder belts if your child is over 40 lb. (18 kg). 2007 Mariner (mrn) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 123 Never put the shoulder belt under a child’s arm or behind the back because it eliminates the protection for the upper part of the body and may increase the risk of injury or death in a collision. 2007 Mariner (mrn) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)

Page 125 Seating and Safety Restraints Ford recommends the use of a child safety seat having a top tether strap. Install the child safety seat in a seating position with LATCH and tether anchors. For more information on top tether straps and anchors, refer to Attaching safety seats with tether straps in this chapter.

Page 129 This type of child seat eliminates the need to use safety belts to attach the child seat. For forward-facing child seats, the tether strap must also be attached to the proper tether anchor. See Attaching safety seats with tether straps in this chapter. 2007 Mariner (mrn) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 130 Follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions to properly install a child seat with LATCH attachments. Attach LATCH lower attachments of the child seat only to the anchors shown. 2007 Mariner (mrn) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
Page 131 Also try to tug the seat forward. Check to see if the anchors hold the seat in place. If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child being injured in a crash greatly increases. 2007 Mariner (mrn) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
