CHILD RESTRAIINTS
Be sure to follow the instructions for the restraint. You may find these
instructions on the restraint itself or in a booklet, or both. These
restraints use the belt system in your vehicle, but the child also has to be
secured within the restraint
to
help reduce the chance of personal injury.
The instructions that come with the infant or child restraint will show you
how to do that.
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. NEVER put
a rear-facing child restraint in the front passenger seat. Here's why:
A
CAUTION:
I
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously
injured if the right-front passenger's air bag inflates. This is
because the back of a rear-facing child restraint would be
very close to the inflating air bag. If your vehicle has a
right-front passenger's air bag, always secure a rear-facing
child restraint in the rear seat.
You may secure a forward-facing child restraint in the right
front seat. However, before securing a forward-facing child
restraint, ALWAYS move the front passenger seat as far back
as it will go. Or, secure the child restraint in the rear seat.
