Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I am concerned about the safety of my child or myself sitting in the jumper seats of this truck. I was told by DOT that a 3 pt. Seat beat was safest. It is recommended that children sit in the back of vehicles, but since there is only a lap belt, how safe is it for a 6 year old to sit in the jumper seat? Does crash tests show that the lap belt is sufficient for adults sitting in the jumper seat?”
