1. Lengthen the lap belt. To

lengthen the belt, hold the tongue

so that its bottom is perpendicular

to the direction of webbing while

sliding the tongue up the webbing.

2. Place the child safety seat in the center seating position.

3. Route the tongue and webbing through the child seat according to the

child seat manufacturer’s instructions.

4. Insert the belt tongue into the proper buckle for the center seating

position until you hear a snap and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is

securely fastened to the buckle by pulling on the tongue.

5. Push down on the child seat while pulling on the loose end of the lap

belt webbing to tighten the belt.

6. Before placing the child into the child seat, forcibly tilt the child seat

from side to side and in forward direction to make sure that the seat is

securely held in place. 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 cm) of movement for proper installation.

7. Ford recommends checking with a NHTSA Certified Child Passenger

Safety Technician (CPST) to make certain the child restraint is properly

installed. In Canada, check with your local St. John Ambulance office for

referral to a CPST.

Note: There is no top tether anchor for the front center seating position.

See Attaching child safety seats with tether straps later in this chapter.

Attaching child safety seats with LATCH

(Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) attachments

The LATCH system is composed of three vehicle anchor points: two (2)

lower anchors located where the vehicle seat back and seat cushion meet

(called the “seat bight”) and one (1) top tether anchor located behind

that seating position.
