Important child restraint precautions

You are required by law to use safety restraints for children in the U.S.

and Canada. If small children (generally children who are four years old

or younger and who weigh 18 kg [40 lbs] or less) ride in your vehicle,

you must put them in safety seats made especially for children. Check

your local and state or provincial laws for specific requirements

regarding the safety of children in your vehicle. When possible, always

place children under age 12 in the rear seat of your vehicle. Accident

statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in the

rear seating positions than in the front seating position.

Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while the

vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child from

injury in a collision.

Always follow the instructions and warnings that come with any infant or

child restraint you might use.

Children and safety belts

If the child is the proper size, restrain the child in a safety seat. Children

who are too large for child safety seats (as specified by your child safety

seat manufacturer) should always wear safety belts.

Follow all the important safety restraint and air bag precautions that

apply to adult passengers in your vehicle.

Do not leave children, unreliable adults, or pets unattended in

your vehicle.

To improve the fit of lap and shoulder belts on children who have

outgrown child safety seats, Ford recommends use of a belt-positioning

booster seat that is labeled as conforming to all applicable Federal motor

vehicle safety standards. Belt-positioning booster seats raise the child

and provide a shorter, firmer seating cushion that encourages safer

seating posture and better fit of lap and shoulder belts on the child.

A belt-positioning booster seat should be used if the shoulder belt rests

in front of the child’s face or neck, or if the lap belt does not fit snugly

on both thighs, or if the thighs are too short to let the child sit all the

way back on the seat cushion when the lower legs hang over the edge of

the seat cushion. You may wish to discuss the special needs of your child

with your pediatrician.
