Child Restraints - GMC Hummer H3 2008 Owner's Handbook Manual

CHILD RESTRAINTS

CAUTION
Do not leave children unattend-
ed in the vehicle.
Children left unattended could
play with the safety belts. The
belt could become wrapped
around the child's neck and
continue to tighten. The child
could be injured or killed.
Never allow children to play
with the safety belts.
CAUTION
(Continued)
After installing a child restraint
in the rear seat, pull the shoul-
der belt all the way out of the
retractor to set the lock.
Secure any unused safety belts
behind the child restraint so
children cannot reach them.
CAUTION
Each belt assembly must only
be used by one occupant; it is
dangerous to put a belt around
a child being carried on the
occupant's lap.
Section 2
CAUTION
If a child cannot see out of the
window, do not raise him/her
by means of an ordinary cush-
ion. It will not stay in place in a
collision and the child can slip
out of the straps and become
entangled.
CAUTION
Never hold a baby in your arms
while riding in a vehicle. During
a crash a baby will become so
heavy you can't hold it. For
example, in a crash at only
40 km/h (25 mph), a 5.5 kg
(12 lbs) baby will suddenly
become a 110 kg (240 lbs)
force on your arms. The baby
would be almost impossible to
hold. Secure the baby in an
infant restraint.
