Where to Put the Restraint
(Crew Cab Models)
Accident statistics show that children are safer if they
are restrained in the rear rather than the front seat. We
recommend that child restraints be secured in a rear
seat position, including an infant riding in a rear-racing
infant seat, a child riding in a forward-facing child
seat and an older child riding in a booster seat.
If your vehicle has air bags and you need to secure a
child restraint in the right front passenger’s seat, there is
a switch on the instrument panel that you can use to
turn off the passenger’s air bag. See Air Bag Off Switch
on page 1-55 and Securing a Child Restraint in the
Right Front Seat Position on page 1-43 for more on this,
including important safety information.
Unless the passenger’s air bag has been turned off,
never put a rear-facing child restraint in the right front
seat position. Here is 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. Be
sure to turn off the air bag before using a
rear-facing child restraint in the right front seat
position.
Even though the air bag off switch is designed
to turn off the passenger’s air bag, no system
is fail-safe, and no one can guarantee that an
air bag will not deploy under some unusual
circumstance, even though it is turned off.
General Motors recommends that rear-facing
child restraints be secured in the rear seat,
even if the air bag is off.
If your secure a forward-facing child restraint
in the right front static seat or right front
bench seat, always move the front passenger
seat as far back as it will go. It is better to
secure the child restraint in a rear seat.
