The Extra Cab has rear-facing jump seats, which are smaller than standard back seats. This limits the types of car seats that will fit. You'll likely be limited to infant car seats or smaller convertible car seats. Larger convertible car seats or booster seats might not fit properly or at all.
Before purchasing a car seat, you should:
* Check your Ranger's owner's manual: It will have information about recommended car seat placement and any specific restrictions for your model year.
* Consult the car seat manufacturer's instructions: Make sure the car seat is compatible with your vehicle's seat and seatbelts.
* Try the car seat in your vehicle before purchasing: If possible, take the car seat to your Ford Ranger and test the fit. This is the best way to ensure it will work safely and correctly.
Always prioritize safety. If a car seat doesn't fit properly and securely, it's not safe to use. Improper installation can lead to serious injury or death in a collision. If you have any doubts, consider getting your car seat professionally installed by a certified child passenger safety technician.
