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. i n h n t or child restraint will show you how
to
do that.
Where to Put the Restraint (Except Extended Cab
and Crew Cab)
The child restraint must be secured properly in the center or right front
passenger seat.
Where to Put the Restraint (Extended Cab and Crew
Cab)
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 i n the vehicle. In that case. you night 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 i n mind that an unsecured child restraint can move around in a
collision or sudden stop and injure people i n 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 GM dealer to put
i t
in for you. I f you want to install an anchor yourself, your dealer can tell
you how to do
it.
