Where To Put The Restraint - Chevrolet 2005 Aveo Owner's Manual

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, therefore, recommend 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-facing child restraint in the front
passenger seat. Here is why:
CAUTION:
{
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger's airbag inflates. This is because the
back of the rear-facing child restraint would be
very close to the inflating airbag. Always secure
a rear-facing child restraint in a rear seat.
If you need to secure a forward-facing child
restraint in the right front seat, always move the
front passenger seat as far back as it will go.
It is better to secure the child restraint in a
rear seat.
There are a couple of things you need to know about
using child restraints in your rear seat:
Therefore, you will not be able to secure child restraints
or have passengers ride in the rear outside seating
positions.
Therefore, you will not be able to secure a child
restraint or have a passenger ride in the center rear
seating position.
If you use a child
restraint in the center
rear seating position, the
safety belts and the
child restraint LATCH
anchors for the rear
outside seating positions
will not be accessible.
If you use two child
restraints in the rear
outside seating positions,
the safety belt for the
center rear seat position
will not be accessible.
