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
idant or child restraint will show you
how to do that.
Where tu 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. NEVER put
a rear-facing child restraint in the €rmt passenger seat. Here's why:
I
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.
