Never hold a baby in your arms while riding in a vehicle. A baby
doesn't weigh much
-0 until a crash. During a crash a baby will
become
so heavy you can't hold it. For example, in a crash at
only 25 mph (40 km/h), a 12-pound (5.5 kg) baby will suddenly
become a 240-pound (110 kg) force on your arms. The baby
would be almost impossible to hold.
Secure the baby in an infant restraint.
CHILD RESTUNTS
Be sure to follow the instructions for the restraint. You may find these
instructions
on the rcstraint 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
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 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.
