Child Restraint Systems - Hummer H2 2009 Owner's Manual

CAUTION:
{
A young child's hip bones are still so small that
the vehicle's regular safety belt may not remain
low on the hip bones, as it should. Instead, it may
settle up around the child's abdomen. In a crash,
the belt would apply force on a body area that is
unprotected by any bony structure. This alone
could cause serious or fatal injuries. To reduce the
risk of serious or fatal injuries during a crash,
young children should always be secured in
appropriate child restraints.

Child Restraint Systems

The harness system holds the infant in place and, in a
crash, acts to keep the infant positioned in the
restraint.
A rear-facing infant
seat (A) provides restraint
with the seating surface
against the back of
the infant.
A forward-facing child
seat (B) provides restraint
for the child's body with the
harness.
