Child Seat Restraint-Tether Attachment

TETHER ATTACHMENT
Some manufacturers make safety seats with a tether strap that goes over the back of the vehicle seat and attaches to an anchoring point behind the vehicle seat.

Ford recommends the placement of tethered safety seats in a rear seating position in forward facing seats only. Child safety seats are not designed for and should not be installed in center facing jump seats.

TETHER ANCHOR HARDWARE
Tether anchor points are provided in the vehicle for child safety seats requiring a tether anchor. Tether anchor hardware kits are available from Ford Motor Company and have instructions specific to the applicable vehicle.
