When you ride in or on anything, you
go as fast as it goes.
1. For example, if the bike is going 10
mph (16 km/h), so is the child.
2. When the bike hits the block, it
stops. But the child keeps
going!
3. Take the simplest "car." Suppose
it's just
a seat on wheels.

Child Restraints
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 restraint properly.

Top Strap
If your child restraint has a top strap, it
should be anchored. If you need to have
an anchor installed,
you can ask your
Chevrolet dealer to put it in for you. If
you want to install an anchor yourself,
your dealer can tell you how to do it.
Vehicles first sold in Canada have child
restraint anchor bracket hardware in the
