Ford recommends the use of a child safety seat having a top tether
strap. Install the child safety seat in a seating position which is capable
of providing a tether anchorage. For more information on top tether
straps, refer to Attaching safety seats with tether straps.

Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions included
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.

Installing child safety seats in cinch tongue combination lap and
shoulder belt seating positions

The belt webbing below the tongue is the lap portion of the combination
lap/shoulder belt, and the belt webbing above the tongue is the shoulder
belt portion of the combination lap/shoulder belt.

1. Position the child safety seat in a
seat with a combination lap and
shoulder belt.

Air bags can kill or injure a child in a child seat. If you must use
a forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move seat all the

way back.

Rear facing child seats should NEVER be placed in front of an
active air bag.
