5. Remove remaining slack from the

belt. Force the seat down with extra

weight, e.g., by pressing down or

kneeling on the child restraint while

pulling up on the shoulder belt in

order to force slack from the belt.

This is necessary to remove the

remaining slack that will exist once

the additional weight of the child is

added to the child restraint. It also

helps to achieve the proper

snugness of the child seat to the vehicle. Sometimes, a slight lean

towards the buckle will additionally help to remove remaining slack from

the belt.

6. Attach the tether strap (if the child seat is equipped). Refer to

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

7. Before placing the child in the

seat, forcibly move the seat forward

and back to make sure 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 one inch (2.5 cm)

of movement for proper installation.

8. Ford recommends checking with a NHTSA Certified Child Passenger

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

installed.

Attaching child safety seats with Lower Anchor and Tethers for

CHildren (LATCH) 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.
