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. Never put a rear

-facing

child restraint in the front passenger seat. Here’s why:

CAUTION:

A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be

seriously injured or killed if the right front

passenger’s air bag inflates. This is because the

back of the rear

-facing child restraint would be

very close to the inflating air bag. Always secure

a rear

-facing child restraint in a rear seat.

CAUTION: (Continued)

You may secure a forward-facing child restraint

in the right front seat, but before you do, always

move the front passenger seat as far back as it

will go. It’s better to secure the child restraint in

a rear seat.

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.
