CHILD RESTMNTS
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 infant or child restraint will show you
how to do that.
mere 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:

Q: What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder belt, but the child is so
small that the shoulder belt is very close to the child’s face or neck?
A: Move the child toward the center of the vehicle, but be sure that the
shoulder belt still is on the child’s shoulder,
so that in a crash the
child’s upper body would have the restraint that belts provide.
If the
child is
so small that the shoulder belt is still very close to the child’s
face or neck, you might want to place the child in the center seat
position, the one that has only a lap belt.
