Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint can move
around in
a
collision or sudden stop and injure people in
the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any child
restraint in your vehicle -- even when no child is in it.
Top Strap
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger's air bag inflates, even though your
vehicle has reduced-force frontal air bags. This is
because the back of the rear-facing child
restraint would be very close to the inflating air
bag. Be sure to turn off the air bag before using
a
rear-facing child restraint in the right front
seat position.
If your child restraint has a top strap, it should be
anchored. If you need to have an anchor installed, you
can ask your GM dealer to put it in for you. If you want
to install an anchor yourself, your dealer can tell you
how to do it.
