Children - Chevrolet 1999 S10 Pickup Owner's Manual

To make it shorter, pull the belt as shown until it is snug.
Buckle and position it the same way as the lap part of
the driver's safety belt (see "Driver Position" in the
Index). Make sure the release button on the buckle is
positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety
belt quickly if you ever had to. To unlatch the belt, just
push the button on the buckle.
Don't use child restraints on these seats. They won't
work properly.

Children

Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! That includes
infants and all children smaller than adult size. Neither
the distance traveled nor the age and size of the traveler
changes the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints.
In fact, the law in every state in the United States and in
every Canadian province says children up to some age
must be restrained while in a vehicle.
Smaller Children and Babies
CAUTION:
Children who are up against, or very close to, any
air bag when it inflates can be seriously injured
or killed. This is true even though your vehicle
has Next Generation frontal air bags. Air bags
-
plus lap shoulder belts offer the best protection
for adults, but not for young children and
infants. Neither the vehicle's safety belt system
nor its air bag system is designed for them.
Young children and infants need the protection
that a child restraint system can provide. Always
secure children properly in your vehicle.
