Child Seat Positioning For Latch Lower Anchors - Ford Taurus 2015 Owner's Manual

Follow the instructions on attaching child safety seats with tether straps.
See Using Tether Straps later in this chapter.
Attach LATCH lower attachments of the child seat only to the anchors
shown.

Child seat positioning for LATCH lower anchors

All the LATCH lower anchors are equally spaced, 11 inches (28
centimeters) apart, allowing for the following child seat positioning:
• If a single child seat is installed using the LATCH lower anchors, it can
be installed at any rear seating position.
• If two child safety seats are installed using the LATCH lower anchors,
they must be placed in the outboard seating positions only.
• If three child safety seats are installed, you can install two using the
LATCH lower anchors by placing them in each outboard seating
position and the third in the center using the lap and shoulder belt,
OR you can use the LATCH lower anchors for the center child safety
seat and the lap and shoulder belts for the other two child safety seats
in the outboard positions. Use the tether anchors if applicable.
Combining Safety Belt and LATCH Lower Anchors for Attaching
Child Safety Seats
When used in combination, either the safety belt or the LATCH lower
anchors may be attached first, provided a proper installation is achieved.
Attach the tether strap afterward, if included with the child seat.
