Where to Put the Restraint 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 infant 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. l fop 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 Oldsmobile dealerto put it in foryou. If you want to install an anchor yourself, your dealercan tell you how to do it. ~ ' ' ~ Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear Outside Position You'll be usingthe lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier section about the top strap if the child restraint has one. 1. Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions for the child restraint. 2. Secure the child in the child restraint as the instructions say. 3.Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder portions of the vehicle's safety beltthrough or around the restraint.The child restraint instructions will show you how. If the shoulder belt goes in front of the child's face orneck, put it behind the child restraint. 27
