Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! That includes infants and all
children smaller than adult size. In fact, the law in every s\
tate in the
United States and in every Canadian province says children up
to some
age must be restrained while in a vehicle.

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
idant or child restraint will show you
how to do that.
Where tu 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 €rmt passenger seat. Here's why:
I
Wherever you install it, be sure to secure the child restraint properly.
Keep in mind that'an unsecured child restraint can move around in a collision
or sudden stop and injure people in the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any
child restraint
in your vehicle -- even when no child is in it.

If your child restraint
has a top strap, it
should be anchored.
If you need to have an anchor installed, you can ask your Cadillac dealer
to put it in for you. If you want to install an anchor yourself, your dealer
can tell you how to do it.
For cars first sold in Canada, child restraints with a top strap must be
anchored according to Canadian Law.
Your dealer can obtain the hardware kit and install it for you, or you may
install it yourself using the instructions provided
in the kit.
Use the tether hardware kit available from the dealer. The hardware and
installation instructions were specifically designed for this vehicle.
