Child Restraint
Children in automobiles should be
restrained to lessen the risk of injury
i n accidents, sudden stops or other
driving conditions.
A child seat de-
signed by General Motors specifically
for small children is available from
your dealer.
This seat is designed to
position the child for more effective
restraint by the lap belt provided on
your 1969 Chevrolet product.
The General Motors child seat
should be used only in General
Motors passenger vehicles
equipped
with lap belts..It may be used on all
seats which do not fold and on folding
seats only if they are equipped with
a latch to hold the seat back upright
(standard on 1967 and later model
General Motors cars). This seat is
only for use by children weighing up
to 30 pounds.
If a child is traveling in a vehicle
not equipped with this Genera] Mo-
tors child seat, the following precau-
tions should be taken:
1. Children should be placed i n
the rear seat. Never allow a
child to stand or kneel on any
seat.
2. Infants unable to sit up by them-
selves should be
restrained
by
placing them in a covered, pad-
ded bassinet
which
is placed
crossways in the vehicle on the
rear seat.
The bassinet should
be securely restrained with the
regular vehicle seat belts. An
alternate method is to position
3.

5.
the bassinet so that i t rests
against the back of the front seat,
again crossways in the vehicle.
When a child is old enough to
sit up by himself in a car, he
should sit on a Firm cushion and
use the conventional lap belt to
restrain him at *he hips.
The
cushion should be as firm as
practical and enable the child to
look horizontally out of the car
windows.
The use of the cushion should be
discontinued as soon as the child
is old enough to see out of the
car windows without it.
Do
not
use
shoulder belts
on
children shorter than approxi-
mately 4 feet 7 inches in height.
