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.

long  as  possible  by

A 
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. 
Accident  statistics  show that children  are safer 
if they  are restrained  in 
the rear  seat.  But  they  need  to use  the safety  belts  properly.

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.
