Child Safety Seat Tether Anchors and Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children Attachments: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Ford RV Cutaway, 2008 Ford Econoline, 2008 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2008 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Always tighten the child safety seat tether anchor/bolt to specification. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the child's safety seat being incorrectly secured, which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death to the child in a sudden stop or crash.
Some manufacturers make child safety seats with a tether that straps over the seat backrest and attaches to an anchoring point behind the seat.
Ford recommends the placement of tethered safety seats in a rear seating position, with the tether strap attached to the tether anchoring point. The right front seating position can be used if it is the only seating position available. The tether anchor attachment point for the right front seating position is located on the rear edge of the seat. For additional information, refer to the vehicle Owner's Literature for installation instructions.
