Seats & Safety 6eIts
Where to Put the Restraint
Accident statistics show that children
are safer if .they are restrained in the
rear rather than the front seat. We at
General Motors therefore recommend
that you put your child restraint in the
rear seat unless the child is an infant
and you're the only adult in the vehicle.
In that case, you might want to secure
the restraint in the front seat where you
can keep an eye on the baby.
Wherever you install it, be sure to
secure the child restraint properly.
A
An unsecured child restraint
can
move around in a
callision or sudden stop and injure
people in the vehicle. Be sure to
properly secure any child restraint
in your vehicl-ven
when no
I
child is in it.

Top Strap
If your child restraint has a top strap, it
should be anchored. If you need to have
an anchor installed, you can ask your
Pontiac dealer to put it in for you. If
you want to install an anchor yourself,
your dealer can tell you how to do it.
Vehicles first sold in Canada have child
restraint anchor bracket hardware in
the glove box, along with instructions
for installing it. This should be used
only with a child restraint, and only to
secure a child restraint at a rear seating
position. Additional anchor brackets for
child restraints at the rear seating
positions are available at Pontiac
dealerships in Canada.
