Where to Put the Restraint
Accident statistics show that children are safer if they
are restrained in the rear rather than the front seat.
General Motors, therefore, recommends that child
restraints be secured in the rear seat, including an infant
riding in a rear
-
facing infant seat, a child riding in a
forward
-
facing child seat and an older child riding in a
booster seat. There is limited space in the rear seating
area of an extended cab model. If you want to secure a
child restraint in a rear seating position of an extended
cab model, especially in the rear center position, be sure
to study the instructions that came with your child
restraint to see if there is enough room to secure your
seat properly.
If a forward
-
facing child seat must be secured in the
vehicle’s right front seat, the seat should be moved back
as far as possible. However, it is better to secure the
restraint in a rear seat.
If you want to secure a rear
-
facing child restraint in the
right front passenger’s seat, turn off the passenger’s air
bag. See “Air Bag Off Switch” and “Securing a Child
Restraint in the Right Front Seat Position” in the Index
for more on this, including important safety information.
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.
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.
