Child Restraint Systems - Cadillac CT6 2017 Owner's Manual

Warning
To reduce the risk of neck and head
injury in a crash, infants and
toddlers should be secured in a
rear-facing child restraint until age
two, or until they reach the
maximum height and weight limits
of their child restraint.
Warning
A young child's hip bones are still
so small that the vehicle's regular
seat-belt may not remain low on
the hip bones, as it should. Instead,
it may settle around the child's
abdomen. In a crash, the belt would
apply force on a body area that is
unprotected by any bony structure.
This alone could cause serious or
fatal injuries. To reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injuries during a
crash, young children should always
be secured in appropriate child
restraints.

Child Restraint Systems

Rear-Facing Infant Seat
A rear-facing child restraint provides
restraint with the seating surface
against the back of the infant.
The harness system holds the infant
in place and, in a crash, acts to keep
the infant positioned in the restraint.
SEATS AND RESTRAINTS
Forward-Facing Child Seat
A forward-facing child restraint
provides restraint for the child's body
with the harness.
