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.
The child restraint must be secured properly
in
the center (except
60/40
bench seat) or right front passenger seat. If you have a
60/40
split bench
seat, you must
use
the 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.
Top
Strap
If
your child restraint
has a top strap, it
should be anchored.
If
you need to have
an
anchor installed, you can ask your
GM
dealer
to
put
it in for you. If
you
want
to
install an anchor yourself, your dealer can tell
you
how to do it.
