Seats
&
Safety
Belts
36
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 can
keep
an
eye
on
the baby.
Wherever you install it, be sure
to
secure the child
restraint
properly.
CAUTION
A
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
I
vehicle-even when
no
child
is
in
it.
I
Top
Strap
If
your
child
restraint
has
a
top
strap,
it
should
be
anchored.
Anchor
brackets
for
the
second
row
outside
positions are located just above
the
place
where
the
third
row
lap-
shoulder
belts
meet
the
floor.
There's
a
vinyl
sleeve
there;
to
get
to
the
bracket,
push
this
vinyl
sleeve
aside
slightly.
Anchor
the
top
strap
to the
bracket.
If
you need
to
have
an
anchor
bracket
installed for
any
additional
passenger
seat
position, you
can
ask
your
Oldsmobile
dealer
to
put
it
in
for
you.
If
you
want
to
install
an
anchor
bracket
yourself,
your
dealer
can
tell you
how
to
do
it.
Once you
have
the
top strap
anchored,
you'll
be
ready
to
secure
the
child
restraint
itself.
