Child Restraint

Children in trucks should be restrained to help lessen the chance
and/or severity of injury in accidents or sudden stops. General Motors
dealers offer restraint systems designed by GM for use with infants and
small children. For babies up to 20 pounds, General Motors
recommends use of the GM "Infant Love Seat." For children weighing
20 to 40 pounds, up to
sit up alone, General Motors recommends use of the GM "Child Love
Seat."
In using any infant or child restraint system, be sure to read and follow
all instructions on installation and use that come with the restraint
system.
If a child is riding in the truck without a General Motors (or other)
infant or child restraint system, take care as follows:
Infants who cannot sit up by themselves should be restrained by
l .
placing them in a bassinet, preferably covered and padded. Place
it crossways in the truck (widthwise) on the seat (a rear seat if
present). The bassinet should be securely restrained with the
truck's regular seat belts. (Another method is to place the bassinet
so that it rests against the back of the driver's seat, again crossways
in the truck.)
