Child
Restraints
Be sure the child restraint
is
designed to be used
in
a
vehicle. If
it
is, it will have
a
label saying that
it
meets
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
Then 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
(Except Extended
Cab
and Crew Cab)
The child restraint must be secured properly
in
the
center or right front passenger seat.
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.
Where
to
Put
the Restraint
(Extended Cab and Crew Cab)
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
infmt
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.
