Where to Put the Restraint

Accident statistics show that children are safer if they
are restrained in the rear rather than the front seat.
General Motors, therefore, recommends that child
restraints be secured in a rear seat including an infant
-
riding in a rear facing infant seat, a child riding in a
-
forward facing child seat and an older child riding in a
booster seat. Never put a rear
the right front passenger seat. Here's why:
CAUTION:
-
A child in a rear facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger's air bag inflates. This is because the

Wherever you install it, be sure to secure the child
restraint properly.
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
