Protecting Larger Children; Checking Seatbelt Fit - Ford FOCUS Owner's Manual

E87145
PROTECTING LARGER
CHILDREN
The rear seats (where provided) are the
safest place for children.
When a child outgrows the recommended
weight or height limits for a forward facing
child restraint system, the child should sit
on a booster seat and wear a lap-sash
seatbelt. The raised seating position will
allow you to position the shoulder strap of
the adult seatbelt over the centre of your
child's shoulder and the lap strap tightly
across its hips. A booster seat should be
used until the child is tall enough for the
lap-sash seatbelt to fit properly.

Child Safety
Typical Booster Seat
E70710
Do not install a booster seat with
only the lap strap of the seatbelt.
Do not install a booster seat with a
seatbelt that is slack or twisted.

CHECKING SEATBELT FIT

If the lap-sash seatbelt touches or crosses
the child's neck, then the child needs a
booster seat.
Never wear a seatbelt across the
neck. This could result in serious neck
injury in the event of a collision.
Do not put the seatbelt under your
child's arm or behind its back.
Do not use pillows, books or towels
to boost your child's height.
Make sure that your children sit in an
upright position.
