CHILD RESTRAINTS
WARNING
• This manual provides you with
general information concerning child
restraints only.
• The driver is required by law to
ensure that passengers are suitably
restrained. In most States and
Territories of Australia and New
Zealand, specic laws may exist
which require children to be seated in
approved child restraints.
• Holden strongly recommends that you
refer to your specic State or Territory
regulations to determine which child
restraint is suitable for your child.
WARNING – EXTREME HAZARD
• Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front
of it.
The child could be seriously injured if the airbag inates, as the child’s head would
be very close to the inating airbag.
• Remember that it is safest for children to be seated in the rear seats.
WARNING
• Always ensure that the seatbelt ts rmly around the child restraint.
• If a child cannot see out of the window, do not raise him/her by means of an ordinary
cushion. It will not stay in place in a collision and the child can slip out of the straps
and become entangled.
Children should be restrained at all times and tted with a child restraint appropriate to
their size when travelling in a vehicle. Following are some guidelines about selecting
the appropriate restraint for your child.
WARNING
Always follow the child restraint manufacturer’s tting instructions when installing a
child restraint into the vehicle.
