CHILD RESTRAINTS
Child restraint systems are legally required in many
jurisdictions in North America. Statistics prove that
children not secured with a certified and
appropriately sized child restraint system experience
more severe injuries than those who are properly
restrained. The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration mandates anchors and tethers for
child restraint systems in passenger vehicles, but this
does NOT apply to your motorhome. Therefore,
your motorhome is not equipped with any anchor or
tether restraint system for use with child restraint
seats. In evaluating and providing the safest
conditions for your young passengers, you must take
into account the following considerations:
•
Familiarize yourself with the laws and
regulations of all states and provinces in
which you will use the motorhome. Laws
governing the transport of children and the
use of child restraint and anchor systems
varies in different jurisdictions.
•
Your motorhome, in accordance with
applicable law, is not manufactured with any
anchor or tether system on any of its
forward-facing seats.
•
Obtain a child restraint that is labeled as
certified to comply with all applicable U.S.
rules, and regulations applicable to child car
seat, harness, anchor, and/or tethering
systems before allowing any child to travel in
your motorhome.
•
Ensure that any child restraint system you
use conveniently and safely attaches to the
structural elements of your motorhome and
provides safety for a child every time it is
used.
•
Ensure your child restraint system is suitable
and adequate for your child’s age, weight,
and height. Check your child’s restraint
system instructions and labels to verify that it
is suitable and adequate.
•
Carefully review the labels and instructions
supplied with your child restraint system, and
correctly and appropriately install your child
restraint system in accordance with the
labels and instructions and all applicable laws
and regulations.
•
If anchors or tethers are required for the safe
or legal use of your child restraint system or
f
or your child’s age, weight, and height, you
may have a difficult time safely transporting
a child in the motorhome, because no
anchors or tethers are installed on your
motorhome as manufactured.
