? Child Restraints Be sure to follow instructions forthe restraint. You may find these the 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 chance of personal injury. The 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 they are restrained in the if 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 therestraint 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. 1-32
