Chevrolet Silverado Classic 2007 Owner's Manual page 98

Accident statistics show that children are safer if
they are restrained in the rear rather than the front
seat. We recommend that children be secured
in a rear seat, including: an infant or a child riding
in a rear-facing child restraint; a child riding in
a forward-facing child seat; an older child riding
in a booster seat; and children, who are large
enough, using safety belts.
A label on your sun visor says, "Never put a
rear-facing child seat in the front." This is
because the risk to the rear-facing child is so
great, if the airbag deploys.
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.

CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
Even though the passenger sensing
system is designed to turn off the
right front passenger's frontal airbag
if the system detects a rear-facing child
restraint, no system is fail-safe, and
no one can guarantee that an airbag
will not deploy under some unusual
circumstance, even though it is turned off.
We recommend that rear-facing child
restraints be secured in the rear seat,
even if the airbag is off.
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.
