1998 Chevrolet Camaro Owner's Manual - Page 57

When choosing a child restraint, be sure the child restraint is designed to be used in a vehicle. Ifit is, it will have a label saying it meets Federal Motor that Vehicle Safety Standards. Then follow theinstructions for the restraint. You may find these instructions on therestraint itself or in a booklet, or both. These restraints use the belt system in your vehicle, but the childalso 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 howto do that. Both the owner's manual and the child restraint instructions are important, so if either one of these is not available, obtain a replacement copy from the manufacturer. '-&% I CAUTION: Where to Putthe Restraint Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are restrained in therear rather than the front seat. We at General Motors therefore recommend you put your that child restraint in the rear seat. Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the front passenger seat. Here's why: A child in arear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured if the right front passenger's air bag inflates. This is because the back of a rearfacing child restraint would be very close to the inflating air bag. Always secure a rear-facing child restraint in the rear seat. You may, however, secure a forward-facing child restraint inthe right frontseat. Before you secure a forward-facing child restraint, always move the front passenger seat as far back as it will go. Or, secure the child restraint inthe rear seat. Wherever you installit, be sure to secure the child restraint properly. Keep in mindthat an unsecured child restraint can move around in acollision or sudden stop andinjure people in the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any child restraint in your vehicle-- even when no child is in it. 1-37
