Chevrolet Blazer Owner's Manual page 64

Child restraints are designed to be fastened
with the lap-shoulder belt or the ISOFIX
anchors. Some child restraints also use a top
tether or support leg.
Child Restraint Classification
For reference, child restraints available in the
market are classified based on the child s
mass and height. Carefully observe the
installation and usage instructions given by
the child restraint manufacturer.
Danger
Make sure that the child restraint is
installed properly. If the child restraint
is not properly attached, the risk of
serious injury in case of crash
increases.
Do not attach or place objects or other
materials on the child restraint.
Do not leave any loose objects in the
vehicle. During an impact, an object
may move and cause injuries to the
occupants.
After a crash, it is necessary to replace
the child restraint because it may
have suffered non-visible damage.
Danger (Continued)
Always restrain your child in a
properly installed child restraint, even
on short trips.
Allow children to enter and exit the
vehicle only on the side facing away
from traffic.
When carrying a child, follow the
procedures for the transport of
children established by the local laws.
In some countries, the use of child
restraints is forbidden on certain seats.
After removing the child from the
vehicle, keep the child restraint
attached with the seat belt or ISOFIX,
in order to avoid the child restraint
from being thrown forward in case of
sudden braking.
Make sure that the child restraint:
Is installed in accordance to the
instructions given by the child restraint
manufacturer.

Selecting the Right Child Restraint
The rear seats are a safer location to fasten
a child restraint.
Children should travel facing rearward in the
vehicle as long as possible. This makes sure
that the child s backbone, which is still very
weak, is under less strain in the event of a
crash.
Infants and toddlers should travel facing
rearward in the vehicle as long as possible.
This makes sure that the child s backbone,
which is still very weak, is under less strain
in the event of a crash. The table outlines
the recommendations from the American
Academy of Pediatrics of when a child
should transition to the next child restraint
phase. Read the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions to determine the
child's weight and the height limit. See
Older Children 0 61 for the seat belt fit test.
