[QUOTE="usurper, post: 1395021, member: 30145"] REMEMBER: [B]These Gen2 trucks have inflatable rear seatbelts[/B]. The locking mechanism (when you pull the belt all the way out and it ratchets back) is on the BOTTOM belt attachment point, not the top. Also the seatbelt explodes with an airbag in the shoulder if there's a trigger. Ford is pretty specific about what types of car seats that can be used with inflatable seat belts, and the manufacturers are specific if they allow their seats in cars with inflatables. There is no way to turn this feature off, and depending on the car seat that you have it may far more dangerous. This doesn't affect newborns or rear facing seats that use the LATCH system mounting points, but if you've got a hard-back booster or convertible, be sure to check the manufacturer of the car seat to be sure it's rated for inflatable belts. There's more information about this here, and a section that calls out information specifically or Ford/Lincoln models: [URL]https://thecarseatlady.com/vehicles/safety-features/inflatable-belts/[/URL]. If you're using any seat that uses the rear seat belts, check the manufacturer and be sure it's rated. It's not something to mess around with, if there's an accident where the belt explodes based on an airbag trigger, it could hurt the child or even eject the seat from the restraints into the cabin. I feel this topic isn't well documented and communicated at all. [/QUOTE]
