Securing A Child Restraint In The Right Front Seat Position - GMC 2003 Safari Owner's Manual

Securing a Child Restraint in the
Right Front Seat Position
If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for
Children (LATCH System) on page 1-52.
Your vehicle has a front passenger air bag. Never put
a rear facing child restraint in this s I. Here's why:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the front
passenger's air bag inflates. This is because
the back of the rear-facing child restraint
would be very close to the inflating air bag.
If your vehicle is a passenger van, always
secure a rear-facing child restraint in a rear
seat. If your vehicle is a cargo van, do not use
a rear-facing child restraint in this vehicle.
If a forward-facing child restraint is suitable
for your child, always move the passenger seat
as far back as it will go.
Although a rear seat
is
a safer place, you can secure a
forward-facing child restraint in the right front seat.
