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.
If your child restraint has a top strap, it should be anchored.
