The only reason for boosters is to get the seatbelt in the right position. The rear seats of a ranger wont have that kind of problem due to how they are designed. Like i said before.. just be extra careful..
I disagree Jeff and this is no stab at you or your comment I agree totally that it shouldnt be done, but to do it anyways is putting your child at risk... those seats are designed to fold up and I doubt that under a severe impact that the baby and seat will be heavy enough to prevent those seats from folding up there causing an aggravated injury to your kid.... you cant put a price on your kid's safety... I would suggest either trading your brand new ford ranger for perhaps a used small truck like perhaps a 4 door colorado or s10 or dakota (yuck, but at least its has a real backseat). I would never consider putting child under the age of 9-10 years old back there, unless its my sister in-law, in that case she can hybernate back there lol
