Child Restraint   the car. The child should be seated upright in the seat with the lap belt fastened low on the hips and as snug as possible.   Maintenance And Inspection of Seat Belts
       
When you are carrying children in your car some type of restraint system should be used, regardless of the size of the child.      
      The webbing used in belts may be cleaned with a hydrocarbon dry cleaner or with soap or detergent in water.
  A child wearing a lap belt can be elevated to see out of the car if the elevating platform is rigid and unyielding and light in weight (styrofoam is good). To insure adequate protection in a side impact, we suggest that the platform height should not exceed 3 inches (76 mm), and that it should be as wide as the distance between the belts used to secure the seat. Children should be seated in a rear seat. If it is essential for the child to sit in the right front seat, and the shoulder belt lies across the face or neck of the child so as to cause discomfort, extend the shoulder belt webbing out from the retractor and position the comfort slide along the webbing as described earlier to keep the webbing from retracting. A slight amount of additional slack will allow the shoulder belt webbing to fall away from the child's neck or face.  
       
For babies weighing up to 20 pounds (9 kg), obtain a good infant carrier. The Chrysler Safety Infant Carrier (part No. 3744975) can be purchased from your dealer. This method of carrying a small child is recommended if the child is unable to sit up by himself. The child is securely restrained facing in a rearward direction so that in the event of a forward collision the child is adequately supported. For children weighing less than 50 pounds (23 kg) but more than 20 pounds (9 kg), we recommend the purchase of a good Safety Seat, such as the Chrysler Child Safety Seat (part No. 3744976). The child seat assures that the loads that might be exerted on a child are distributed more widely over the child's body. The seat may be purchased from your dealer.    
     
    Do not attempt to bleach or re-dye belts. Resulting color may rub off and webbing strength could be affected.
     
    Regularly check lap belt buckles and release mechanism for positive action and automatic locking retractors for positive engagement.
     
    Check that the anchor mounting bolts are tight. If the seat belt webbing shows obvious cuts, protruding broken fibers causing a local increase in webbing thickness, or severe fading which indicates weakening by exposure to sunlight, the seat belt should be replaced.
