Attaching Safety Seats With Latch Attachments - Ford Mustang User Manual

Seating and Safety Restraints
If the safety seat is not anchored properly, the risk of a child
being injured in a collision greatly increases.
Attaching safety seats with LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children) attachments
Some child safety seats have two rigid or web mounted attachments that
connect to two anchors at certain seating positions in your vehicle. This
type of child seat eliminates the need to use safety belts to attach the
child seat. For forward-facing child seats, the upper tether strap must
also be attached to the proper tether anchor. See Attaching safety seats
with tether straps in this chapter.
Your vehicle has LATCH anchors for child seat installation at the seating
positions marked with the child seat symbol.
The center of the rear seat
is NOT designed as a
seating position. The LATCH
anchors were not designed to be
used with a child seat in the
center position and there is no
tether anchor available at the
center. Attempted use of the
center as a seating position will
increase the risk of injury or death
in the event of a collision.
Never attach two LATCH child safety seats to the same anchor.
In a crash, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two
child safety seat attachments and may break, causing serious injury or
death.
