FORD 2013 Taurus v.2 - Manual (Page 22)

Booster seats should be used until you can answer YES to ALL of these
questions when the child is seated without a booster seat:
•
Can the child sit all the way
back against the vehicle seat
back with knees bent
comfortably at the edge of the
seat cushion?
•
Can the child sit without
slouching?
•
Does the lap belt rest low across the hips?
•
Is the shoulder belt centered on the shoulder and chest?
•
Can the child stay seated like this for the whole trip?
Always use booster seats in conjunction with the vehicle lap/shoulder
belt.
Types of Booster Seats
•
Backless booster seats
If your backless booster seat has a removable shield, remove the shield.
If a vehicle seating position has a low seat back or no head restraint, a
backless booster seat may place your child’s head (as measured at the
tops of the ears) above the top of the seat. In this case, move the
backless booster to another seating position with a higher seat back or
head restraint and lap/shoulder belts, or consider using a high back
booster seat.
