s
Be sure the child restraint is designed
to
be
used
in
a
vehicle.
If
it
is,
it
will have a label saying that it meets
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
Then 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.
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 front passenger seat.
Here's
why:
Wherever
you
install
it, be sure
to
secure the child
restrain1 properly.
Keep in mind that
an
unsecured child restraint
can
mow
around
in
a
collision
0%'
sudden
stop
and
injure
people
ir
the vehicle. Be sure
to
properly secure any child
restraint
in
yo~ar
vehicle
--
even when
no
child
is
in
it.
