extra weight of the child is added to the child restraint. It also helps to

Sometimes, a slight lean toward the buckle will additionally help to
remove remaining slack from the belt.

Tether Straps in this chapter.
To check this, grab the seat at the belt path and attempt to move it side
to side and forward and back. There should be no more than 1 inch (2.5

Ford recommends checking with a NHTSA Certified Child Passenger
Safety Technician to make certain the child restraint is properly installed.
In Canada, check with your local St. John Ambulance office for referral
to a Child Passenger Safety Technician.
