Child Restraints
Be sure to follow the instructions for the restraint. You may find these
instructions on the restraint itself or in a booklet, or both. These restraints
use the belt system in your vehicle, but the child also has to be secured
within the restraint to help reduce the chance of personal injury. The
instructions that come with the infant or child restraint will show you how to
do that.
Where to Put the Restraint
Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are restrained in the
rear rather than the front seat. We at General Motors therefore recommend
that you put your child restraint in the rear seat unless the child is an infant
and you're the only adult in the vehicle. In that case, you might want to
secure the restraint in the front seat where you can keep an eye on the
baby.
Wherever you install it, be sure to secure the child restraint properly.
CAUTION
A
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.
