1993 CHEVROLET S10 child seat

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Seats & Safety Belts
If you're using a bucket seat, adjust the seat forward until the \
lap portion of
the safety belt holds the restraint firmly. But, don't move it any more than
needed to tighten the lap belt.
To remove the child restraint, unbuckle the vehicle's safety belt \
and let it go
back all the way. The safety belt
will move freely again and be ready to work
for an adult or larger child passenger.

AN170071
Children who have outgrown child restraints should wear the veh\
icle's safety
belts.
If you have the choice, a child should sit next to a window so \
the child
can wear a lap-shoulder belt and get the additional restraint \
a shoulder belt
can provide.
Children who aren't buckled up can be thrown out in a crash. \

Seats & Safety Belts
Q: What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder belt, but the child is so
small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child’s face or neck?
A: Move the child toward the center of the vehicle, but be sure that the
shoulder belt still
is on the child’s shoulder, so that in a crash the child’s
upper body would have the restraint that belts provide.
If the child is so small
that the shoulder belt
still is very close to the child’s face or neck, you might
want
to place the child in a seat that has a lap belt, if your vehicle has one.

Never do this.
A Here a child is sitting in a seat that has a lap-shoulder be\
lt, but the
shoulder part is behind the child.
If the child wears the belt in this
way, in a crash the child might slide under the belt. The belt’\
s force
would then be applied right on the child’s abdomen. That co\
uld
cause serious or fatal injuries.
Wherever the child sits, the lap portion of the belt should b\
e worn low and
snug
on the hips, just touching the child’s thighs. This applies bel\
t force to
the child’s pelvic bones in a crash.
