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 infant or child
restraint
will
show you how to
do
that.
Where
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 unless the child is an
infant and you’re the only adult in
the
vehicle. In that
case, you might want to secure the restraint in the front
seat where you can keep an eye on the baby.
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.
