Chevrolet 2007 Colorado Owner's Manual page 53

When securing an add-on child restraint, refer
to the instructions that come with the restraint
which may be on the restraint itself or in a booklet,
or both, and to this manual. The child restraint
instructions are important, so if they are not
available, obtain a replacement copy from the
manufacturer.
Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint
can move around in a collision or sudden stop
and injure people in the vehicle. Be sure to
properly secure any child restraint in your
vehicle — even when no child is in it.
Securing the Child Within the
Child Restraint
There are several systems for securing the
child within the child restraint. One system,
the three-point harness, has straps that come
down over each of the infant's shoulders
and buckle together at the crotch. The
five-point harness system has two shoulder
straps, two hip straps, and a crotch strap.
A shield may take the place of hip straps.
A T-shaped shield has shoulder straps that are
attached to a flat pad which rests low against
the child's body. A shelf- or armrest-type shield
has straps that are attached to a wide, shelf-like
shield that swings up or to the side.
CAUTION:
{
A child can be seriously injured or killed
in a crash if the child is not properly
secured in the child restraint. Make sure
the child is properly secured, following
the instructions that came with that
restraint.
Because there are different systems, it is
important to refer to the instructions that come
with the restraint. A child can be endangered
in a crash if the child is not properly secured
in the child restraint.
