Child Restraints - GMC 1994 Yukon Owner's Manual

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.
Keep in mind that 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.
Top Strap
If your child restraint
has a top strap, it
should be anchored.
If you need to have an anchor installed, you can
ask
your Vehicle dealer to
put it in for you. If you want to install an anchor yourself, your dealer can
tell you how to do it.
