Use a safety seat that is recommended for the size and weight
of the child. Always follow the safety seat manufacturer’s
instructions when installing and using the safety seat.

[SS15300(ALL)01/96]
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 see Attaching Safety Seats With
Tether Straps in this chapter.
[SS15320(ALL)05/96]
When installing a child safety seat, be sure to use the correct
safety belt buckle for that seating position, make sure the
tongue is securely fastened in the buckle and there is tension in
the belt. For a shoulder/lap belt combination with a sliding
tongue, make sure the retractor is in the automatic locking
mode. For more information, see Using the Automatic Locking
Mode Retractor to Secure a Child Safety Seat later in this chapter.
