child seat CHEVROLET TRACKER 1995 Owners Manual

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 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
Some child restraints have a top strap. Don’t use a
restraint like that
in your vehicle because the top strap
anchor cannot be installed properly.
You shouldn’t use
this type of child restraint without anchoring the top
strap.

Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear Seat
Position
4. Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button is
positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly if you
ever had to.
You'll be using the lap-shoulder belt.
See the earlier part
about the top strap if the child restraint has one.
1. Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions
for the child restraint.
2. Secure the child in the child restraint as the
instructions say.
3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle's safety belt through
or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show
you how.
If the shoulder belt goes in front of the child's face or
neck, put it behind the child restraint.
5. Pull the rest of the shoulder belt all the way out of
the retractor to set the lock.

are restrained in the rear seat. But they need to use the
safety belts properly.
