Child Restraints
Be sure to follow theinstructions for the restraint. You
may find these instructions on the restraint itself or in a
booklet, or both. These restraints use the belt system in
your vehicle, but the child also has to be secured within
the restraint to help reduce the chance of personal injury.
The instructions that come with the infant or child
restraint will show you how to do that.
1 Where to Put the Restraint
Accident statistics show that children are safer if they
are restrained in the rear rather than the front seat. We at
General Motors therefore recommend that you put your
child restraint
in the rear seat .unless the child is an
infant and you’re the only adult in the vehicle.
In that
case,
you might want to secure the restraint in the front
seat where you can keep an eye
on the baby. !. , . ...:
Wherever you install it, be sure to secure the child
