First we welcomed our new bundle of joy into the world and now we have a brand new Chrysler Sebring that we can drive him around in," said Rosario. "Most kids have to wait until they're 16 to get a car and our son won a new car for the family when he was just a month old!" The "Chrysler Sebring Bundle of Joy" contest gave expectant parents a chance to win an all-new 2007 Chrysler Sebring if their baby was born at 2:03:04 a.m. on 05/06/07. The sequential time and date is novel because it won't occur for another hundred years. In honor of the history-making event, Chrysler decided to celebrate two once-in-a-lifetime moments at once by awarding a family-friendly vehicle to the parents of a child born at the unique moment in time. "The Chrysler Sebring is designed to fit the active lifestyles of families nationwide. Whether you are a parent of a newborn, toddler, tween or teen, this vehicle can meet every family's needs," said David Rooney, Director - Chrysler Marketing & Global Communications. "As part of the Chrysler Sebring Bundle of Joy contest, we were able to give the ultimate baby gift to help ease the transition of adding a new member to the family." Any parent whose child was born at 2:03:04 a.m. on 05/06/07 was eligible to mail in a copy of their newborn's birth certificate by Friday, June 15 for a chance to win a new Chrysler Sebring. Having a Sebring Changes Everything Between the crying and lack of sleep, being a new parent can definitely be a rattling experience. While Chrysler can't take the guesswork out of diaper changing and napping, it can help parents find the perfect family vehicle. Below is a list of car buying tips to keep in mind when purchasing a fun, family-centered vehicle: -- Safe and Sound: Safety features are important to keep in mind when shopping for a family car. All Chrysler Sebring models come equipped with standard advanced multi-stage front air bags, side-curtain air bags and front-seat-mounted side air bags as well as standard anti-lock brakes, a first in the mid-size car segment. And before bringing baby home, parents can have the installation of their child safety seat inspected through DaimlerChrysler's SeatCheck program. By visiting http://www.seatcheck.org/, parents can connect to the closest child safety seat inspection locations in their community -- Rock-a-bye Baby: Seek vehicles with the latest technology, like the Sebring, which has a MyGIG(TM) Multimedia Infotainment System. This exclusive feature allows parents to download baby's favorite lullabies to a built-in hard drive. Once the baby is asleep, parents can indulge themselves by tuning into their favorite stations from over 120 channels of digital-quality cross-country entertainment offered on the Sebring through SIRIUS Satellite Radio -- Baby Proof the Interior: Look for vehicles with static-, stain- and odor-resistant seat fabric, like YES Essentials(R) fabric available on the Sebring. This will help parents safeguard their car's interior from the hard-to-avoid formula and baby food spills About the Chrysler Brand Driven by award-winning new models, the Chrysler brand has seen a dramatic increase in sales, market share and brand image. Since 1990, Chrysler brand sales have more than tripled, jumping 250 percent. No other American automotive brand has grown as much during the same time frame. All-new 2007 Chrysler Sebring An all-new mid-size sedan, Chrysler Sebring builds on the winning formula that began with the award-winning Chrysler 300 in the large car segment.
