Safety Seats For Children; Child And Infant Or Child Safety Seats; When Installing A Child Safety Seat - Ford Econoline 2008 Owner's Manual

WARNING: Move a child to a different seating location if the
shoulder belt does not stay positioned on the shoulder during
use.
WARNING: Follow all instructions provided by the manufacturer
of the booster seat.
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: Never use pillows, books, or towels to boost a child.
They can slide around and increase the likelihood of injury or
death in a collision.

SAFETY SEATS FOR CHILDREN

Child and infant or child safety seats

Use a safety seat that is recommended for the size and weight of the
child. Carefully follow all of the manufacturer's instructions with the
safety seat you put in your vehicle. If you do not install and use the
safety seat properly, the child may be injured in a sudden stop or
collision.

When installing a child safety seat:

• Review and follow the information
presented in the Airbag
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) section in this chapter.
• Use the correct safety belt buckle
for that seating position (the
buckle closest to the direction the
tongue is coming from).
• Insert the belt tongue into the
proper buckle until you hear a
snap and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened in the
buckle.
