My mom has a 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid. On page 158 of the manual, under the heading of Installing Child Safety Seats with combination lap shoulder belts it says "The rear seat head restraints must be removed when using a child seat."
They never say why. We have my daughter's Scenera installed rearfacing using LATCH. I can't figure out what good removing the head restraint in front of her will do. They don't even specify that they mean the particular head rest.
It seems from the pictures that they mean with forward facing seats, and (maybe) only with the belts.
I know someone else has an Escape. What do they mean? And why?
Removing the head rest isn't really a problem, but it's one more thing to have to do.
Thanks
