SAFETY SEAT BELTS
In the forward driver’s area of the motorhome, safety seat belts are provided for the use
of the driver and the right front passenger. Safety belts are available for other seats. It
is strongly recommended that all occupants remain seated with their safety belts firmly
attached while the motorhome is in motion, in most states it is illegal to travel without
buckling up the driver’s and passenger seat. occupants. The driver should adjust his
seat so that he is able to reach all controls easily with the belt on, especially able to use
all the travel on the foot brake. The belt should be placed as low as possible around the
hips to prevent sliding out from under them in case of accident. This places the load of
the body on the strong hipbone structure instead of around the soft abdominal area.
Two people should never try to use the same seat belt.
WARNING : Children must be secured in a Federally Approved Child
Restraint Device. Failure to use proper restraints can result in severe or fatal
injuries in case of accidents.
Child restraint devices are designed to be secured with lap or lap/shoulder belts. All
instructions supplied by the restraint manufacturer must be followed. Statistics have
shown children are safer when properly restrained in a rear seating position than in a
front seating position.
Often the children traveling in motorhomes are grandchildren. There are times when
our love for grandchildren makes us hesitate to properly supervise their actions. Don’t
hesitate when it comes to their safety. Make sure they are properly restrained.
CHILDREN HAVE LOVED ONES TOO.
IF YOU WON’T BUCKLE UP FOR YOURSELF, BUCKLE UP FOR THEM.
