When choosinga child restraint, be sure the child restraint is designed to be used ain vehicle. If it is, it will have a label saying that it meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Then followthe instructions for the restraint.You may find these instructions on restraint itselfor in a the booklet, or both. These restraints usethe belt systemin your vehicle, but the child has to be secured within also of the restraintto help reduce the chance personal injury. The instructions that come with the infant or child restraint will show you how do that. Both the owner's to manual and the child restraint instructions are important, so if either one of these is not available, obtaina replacement copy from the manufacturer. Where to Put the Restraint Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are restrained in the rear rather than front seat. We at the General Motors therefore recommend that you put your child restraint in rear seat.Never put a rear-facing the c child restraint in the front passenger seat. H 's why: A CAUTION: A child ina rearfacing child restraint can be seriously injured if the rightfront passenger's air bag inflates even though your vehicle has reduced-force frontal air bags. This is because the backof the rearfacing child restraint would be very close to inflatingair bag. Always the secure a rearfacing child restraint in arear seat. You may secure a forward-facing child restraint in theright front seat, but before you do, always move the front passenger seat as back as it far will go. It's better to secure the child restraint in a rear seat. 1-41
