Be sure to follow the instructions 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.
?+%ere 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. NEVER put
a rear-facing child restraint in the front passenger seat. Here’s
why:
A CAUTION:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured
if the right-front passenger’s air bag inflates, This is because
the back of a rear-facing child restraint would be very close to
the
inflating air bag. If your vehicle has a right-frunt
passenger’s air bag, always secure a rear-facing child restraint
in the rear seat,
You may secure a fonvard-facing child restraint in the right
front seat, However, before securing a forward-facing chitd
restraint, ALWAYS move the frornt passenger seat as far back
as it will go. Or, secure the child restraint in the rear seat.
CAUTION:
A child in B child restraint in the frontenter seat can be
badly injured by the passenger air bag if it inflates. NWEK
use a child restraint in the fmnt-center seat. It’s ahvays better
to secure a child restmint in the rcar seat, You may, howeiq

passenger seat unty with the seat moved all the way back
