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.
