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
tu
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.
Top
Strap
If your child restraint has a top strap, it
should be anchored.
If you need to have an anchor installed,
you
can ask your Oldsmobile dealer to
put it in for
you.
If you want to install
an anchor yourself; your dealer can tell
you how to do it.
For cars first sold in Canada, child
restraints with a. top strap must be
anchored according to Canadian Law.
Your dealer can obtain the hardware kit
and install it for
you,
or
you
may install
it yourself using the instructions
provided in the
kit.
Use the tether hardware kit available
from the dealer. The hardware and
installation instructions were
specifically designed for this vehicle.
