Selecting the Right Child
Restraint
The rear seats are the most
convenient location to fasten a child
restraint.
Children should travel facing rearward
in the vehicle to as late an age as
possible. This makes sure that the
child's backbone, which is still very
weak, is under less strain in the event
of a crash.
General Motors recommends using a
genuine GM child restraint.
Ensure that the child restraint to be
installed is compatible with the
vehicle type.
Make sure that the mounting location
of the child restraint within the
vehicle is correct as per the tables
included in this manual. See Where to
Put the Restraint 0 71.
The provisions established by the laws
have priority over the provisions of
this manual.
{
Danger
Never use a single seat belt with an
adult and a child. During an impact,
the seat belt will exert strong
pressure on the child, causing
serious or fatal injury.
