Seats
&
Safety
6eIts
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.
A
An
unsecured child restraint
can
move around
in
a
callision or sudden
stop
and
injure
people
in
the
vehicle.
Be
sure to
properly secure any child restraint
in
your vehicl-ven
when
no
I
child
is
in
it.
30
I
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
Pontiac dealer to put it in for
you. If
you want to install an
anchor yourself,
your
dealer can tell
you
how
to do it.
Vehicles
first
sold
in Canada have
child
restraint
anchor bracket hardware in
the glove
box,
along with instructions
for
installing it. This should
be
used
only with a child restraint, and only to
secure a child restraint at a rear seating
position. Additional anchor brackets for
child restraints at
the
rear
seating
positions are available
at
Pontiac
dealerships
in
Canada.
I
Securing
a
Child
Restraint
in
a
Rear
Outside
Position
You’ll
be
using
the lap-shoulder
belt.
See the earlier
section
about
the
top
strap
if
the child restraint has
one.
