Infants And Young Children - Chevrolet Enjoy Owner's Manual

INFANTS AND YOUNG
CHILDREN
Everyone in a vehicle needs protection!
This includes infants and all other
children. Neither the distance traveled
nor the age and size of the traveler
changes the need, for everyone, to use
safety restraints.
Warning
Children can be seriously injured or
strangled if a shoulder belt is
wrapped around their neck and the
safety belt continues to tighten.
Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle and never allow children to
play with the safety belts.
Airbags plus lap‐shoulder belts offer
protection for adults and older children,
but not for young children and infants.
Neither the vehicle's safety belt system
nor its airbag system is designed for
them. Every time infants and young
children ride in vehicles, they should
have the protection provided by
appropriate child restraints.
Children who are not restrained
properly can strike other people, or can
be thrown out of the vehicle.
Warning
Never hold an infant or a child while
riding in a vehicle. Due to crash
forces, an infant or a child will
become so heavy it is not possible to
hold it during a crash. For example,
in a crash at only 40 km/h (25 mph), a
5.5 kg (12 lb) infant will suddenly
become a 110 kg (240 lb) force on a
person's arms. An infant should be
secured in an appropriate restraint.
Seats and Restraints 3-27
Warning
Children who are up against, or very
close to, any airbag when it inflates
can be seriously injured or killed.
Never put a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger seat.
Secure a rear-facing child restraint in
rd
3 Row Seat-Right side only. It is
also better to secure a forward-facing
rd
child restraint in 3 Row Seat-Right
side only.
