Infants And Young Children - GMC 2007 Yukon Denali Owner's Manual

Wherever the child sits, the lap portion of the belt
should be worn low and snug on the hips, just
touching the child's thighs. This applies belt force
to the child's pelvic bones in a crash.

Infants and Young Children

Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This
includes infants and all other children. 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.
CAUTION:
{
Children can be seriously injured or
strangled if a shoulder belt is wrapped
around their neck and the safety belt
continues to tighten. Never leave children
unattended in a vehicle and never allow
children to play with the safety belts.
Every time infants and young children ride in
vehicles, they should have the protection provided
by appropriate restraints. Young children should
not use the vehicle's adult safety belts alone,
unless there is no other choice. Instead, they need
to use a child restraint.
