to the seat belt buckle may help provide a good
shoulder belt fit.
To improve the fit of lap and shoulder belts on
children who have outgrown child safety seats, Ford
recommends use of a belt-positioning booster seat
that is labelled as conforming to all Federal motor
vehicle safety standards. Belt-positioning booster
seats raise the child and provide a shorter, firmer
seating cushion that encourages safer seating posture
and better fit of lap and shoulder belts on the child.
A belt-positioning booster should be used if the
shoulder belt rests in front of the child's face or
neck, or if the lap belt does not fit snugly on both
thighs, or if the thighs are too short to let the child
sit all the way back on the seat cushion when the
lower legs hang over the edge of the seat cushion.
You may wish to discuss the specific needs of your
child with your pediatrician.
WARNING
Do not use a belt-positioning booster
with a lap-only belt.
Lap belts and the lap belt portion of lap and
shoulder belts should always be worn snugly and
below the hips, touching the child's thighs.
WARNING
Children should always ride with the
seatback in the fully upright position.
