CHILD RESTRAINTS ..
., . .. .. I_
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.
Mere 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:

Your vehicle has a right-front passenger’s air bag. NEVER put a
rear-facing child restraint
in this seat. Here’s why:
- - __ -
A CAUTION
, A rear-facing,child restraint in the front seat could be pushed -
into the seatback by the right-front passenger’s air bag if it
inflates.
A ch$ld in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously
injured if this, happens. Always secure a rear-facing child
restraint in the rear seat.
I-
You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier section about the top
strap
if the child restraint has one.
1. Because your vehicle has a right-front passenger’s air bag, always
move the seat as far back as it will go before securing a front-facing
child restraint.
2. Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions for the child
restraint.
3. Secure the child in the child restraint as the instructions say.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Larger Children
Children who have outgrown child restraints should wear the vehicle'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.
Accident statistics show that children are safer
if they are restrained in
the rear seat. But they need to use the safety belts properly.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 is still very close to the child’s
face or neck, you might want to place the child in the center seat
position, the one that has
only a lap belt.
