Dodge 18693 Stratus Coupe, Owner'S Manual

Page: 77 / 388

WARNING!
•
All children 12 years old and under should be
seated in the rear seat, and properly restrained.
Accident statistics indicate that children of all
sizes and ages are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seat rather than in the front seat.
•
Any child who is too large to use a child restraint
should ride in the rear seat and wear the lap and
shoulder belt properly. The shoulder belt should
be over the shoulder and across the chest, not
across the neck, and the lap belt should be low on
the child’s hips, not across the stomach. If neces-
sary, a booster seat should be used for proper seat
belt fit; follow the booster seat manufacturer’s
instructions. Only use a booster seat that certifies
it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards.
WARNING!
Never hold an infant or child in your arms or on your
lap when riding in a vehicle, even if you are wearing
your seat belt. Also never place any part of your seat
belt around an infant or child. To do so risks severe
or fatal injury to the child in a collision or sudden
stop.
