child restraint CHEVROLET CAMARO 1971 2.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Child Restraint
Children in automobiles should
be restrained to lessen the risk of
injury in accidents, sudden
s~ops or
other driving conditions . General
Motors has designed an
"INFANT
SAFETY CARRIER" specifically
for infants and a
"CHILD SAFETY
SEAT"
specifically for small chil­
dren which are available from your
Che~rolet dealer. The Carrier and
Child
Seat are designed to utilize
lap belts in your 1971 Camaro.
The General Motors Infant
Safety
Carrier and the Child Safety Seat
must be used only in passenger ve­
hicle seats equipped with lap belts.
They
must be used only on front or
rear seats which do not fold or on
folding seats equipped with a latch
to hold the seat back upright
(Stan­
dard on 1967 and later model GM
passenger vehicles) .
In using either
Carrier or Child
Seat, read and
comply with all installation and usage
instructions.
Do ?ot place
more than one child at a tIme In the
Carrier or Child
Seat. · The Carrier
is designed for use only with infants
weighing up to
20 pounds. The
Child
Seat is designed for use only
by children weighing up to 30
pounds and who are able to sit up
by themselves. All unused seat belts
near the Carrier or Child Seat
should be stowed properly to help
prevent them from striking the
child in the event of a sudden stop
or collision. Shoulder belts should
be stowed in any special storage
convenience provision provided.
Lap belts and shoulder belts
with­
out storage provisions should have
buckles latched and belts adjusted
to remove slack.
Cars Not Equipped With
Special Child Restraints
If a child is traveling in a vehicle
not equipped with a General
8
Motors Infant Safety Carrier or
Child Safety Seat, the following
precautions should be taken:
1. Children should be placed in
the rear seat. Never allow a
child to stand
or kneel on any
seat.
2. Infants . unable to sit up by
themselves should be restrained
by placing them in a covered,
padded bassinet
whi~h is pl~ced
crossways in the vehlcle (wldth­
wise) on the rear seat. The bas­
sinet should be securely re­
strained with the regular ve­
hicle seat belts. An alternate
method
is to position the bas­
sinet so that it rests against the
back of the front seat, again
crossways in the vehicle.
3. When a child
is old enough to
sit up by himself in a
~ar, he
should sit on a firm cushion and
use the conventional lap belt to
restrain him at the hips. The

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine cushion should be as firm as
practical and just high enough
to enable the child to look
hori­
zontally out of the car windows.
4. The use of the cushion should
be discontinued
as soon as the
child
is old enough to see out of
the car windows without it.
Trailer Hauling
Since passenger cars are designed
and intended to
be used primarily
as passenger conveyances, towing
a trailer will affect handling,
dura­
bility and economy. Maximum
safety and· satisfaction depends
upon proper use of correct equip­
ment and avoiding overloads and
other abusive operation .
The maximum loaded trailer
weight which you can pull with 5
. Do not
use shoulder belts on
children shorter than approxi­
mately 4 feet 7 inches
in height.
6. General Motors recommends
that children be restrained when
riding. However, if conditions
require that a child must stand,
he should stand on the floor di-
your Camaro depends on what
special equipment has been in­
stalled on your car. We do not rec­
ommend pulling any trailer unless
the car
is properly equipped. In­
formation on trailer hauling capa­
bilities, special equipment required,
and optional equipment offered by

rectly behind the front seat.
This
will minimize the possi­
bility of his being thrown from
the rear
compartment during a.
sudden stop. This method
should be used only if more
complete restraint cannot be
used.

Usage of bumper hitches
is not
recommended; however, rental
in­
stallations may be made if in accord
with proper installation and usage
instructions of a reputable trailer
rental agency. Axle mounted
hitches should not be used.

dling of the car-trailer combina­
tion, it
