NOTE: If your vehicle is not equipped with a rear seat,
FCA recommends that you do not allow children 12 years
old and under to ride in your vehicle. If the rear seats are
not present in your vehicle, NEVER install a child restraint
in these positions. If you must install a forward facing child
restraint in the front passenger seat, then you must use the
seat belt system to secure the restraint. A top tether strap
extension may be needed to reach the tether anchor on the
rear shelf directly behind the passenger seat.
