Seats & Restraint Systems 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 cankeep 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. Top Strap If your child restraint has a top strap, I t should be anchored. If your vehicle has third row seats, anchor brackets for the second row outside positions are located just above the place where the thirdrow lap-shoulder belts meet the floor. There'sa vinyl sleeve there; to get to the bracket, push this vinyl sleeve aside slightly. Anchor the top strap to the bracket. If your vehicle does not have third row seats and belts, or you need to have an if anchor bracket installed for any additional passenger seat position, you canask your Pontiac dealer to put it in for you. If you want to install an anchor bracket yourself, your dealer can tellyou how to do it. Once you have the top strap anchored, you'll be ready to secure the child restraint itself. ma.44
