Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD 2024 Owner's Manual page 77

Booster Seats
A belt-positioning booster seat is used for
children who have outgrown their
forward-facing child restraint. Boosters are
designed to improve the fit of the vehicle
seat belt system until the child is large
enough for the vehicle seat belts to fit
properly without a booster seat. See the
seat belt fit test in Older Children 0 71.
Securing an Add-On Child Restraint in
the Vehicle
Warning
A child can be seriously injured or killed
in a crash if the child restraint is not
properly secured in the vehicle. Secure
the child restraint properly in the vehicle
using the vehicle seat belt or LATCH
system, following the instructions that
came with that child restraint and the
instructions in this manual.
To help reduce the chance of injury, the
child restraint must be secured in the
vehicle. Child restraints must be secured in
vehicle seats by the lap belt portion of a
lap-shoulder belt, or by the LATCH system.
See Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) 0 77 for more information.
Never use a seat belt extender when
installing a child restraint. Never use
non-regulated aftermarket anchors or
attachments to secure a child restraint.
Children can be endangered in a crash if the
child restraint is not properly secured in the
vehicle.
Seats and Restraints
When securing an add-on child restraint,
refer to the following:
Instruction labels provided on the child
restraint
Instruction manual provided with the
child restraint
This vehicle owner's manual
The child restraint instructions are
important, so if they are not available,
obtain a replacement copy from the
manufacturer.
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 the vehicle even when no
child is in it.
In some areas Certified Child Passenger
Safety Technicians (CPSTs) are available to
inspect and demonstrate how to correctly
use and install child restraints. In the U.S.,
refer to the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) website to locate
the nearest child safety seat inspection
station. For CPST availability in Canada,
check with Transport Canada or the
Provincial Ministry of Transportation office.
