Chevrolet 1997 Astro Owner's Manual page 53

This child restraint system conforms
to
all applicable
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
Each child restraint is designed for
use
only by children
who weigh between 22 and 60 pounds (10 and 27 kg)
and whose height is between 33.5 and 5 1 inches (850 and
1 295 mm) and who are capable of sitting upright alone.
The child should also be at least one year old. It is
important to use a rear-facing infant restraint until the
child is about a year old. A rear-facing restraint gives
the infant's head, neck and body the support they would
need in a crash. See "Child Restraints" later in this
section for more information.
@
What if the top of my child's shoulders is above
the shoulder belt slots for the five-point child
restraint harness system?
A:
A child whose shoulders are above the shoulder
belt slots for the five-point child restraint harness
system shouldn't use the harness. Instead, the child
should sit on the vehicle's regular seat cushion and
use the vehicle's adult safety belts.
BEFORE YOU USE THIS CHILD RESTRAINT,
BE SURE THE TOP OF THE CHILD'S
SHOULDERS IS BELOW THE SLOTS THAT
THE HARNESS GOES THROUGH. IF A
CHILD WHOSE SHOULDERS ARE ABOVE
THOSE SLOTS USES THIS CHILD
RESTRAINT, THE CHILD COULD BE
IN JURED DURING A SUDDEN STOP OR
CRASH.
IF
THE TOP OF THE CHILD'S
SHOULDERS IS ABOVE THE SLOTS, DON'T
USE THIS CHILD RESTRAINT WHILE THE
VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.
