Seats & Restraint Systems Where to Put the Restraint Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are restrained in the rear rather than thefront 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. Keep in mindthat an unsecured child restraint can move around in a collision or sudden stop and injure people inthe vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any child restraint in your vehicle- even when no child is in it. Child Restraints Be sure to follow the instructions for the restraint. You may find these instructions on therestraint itself or in a booklet, or both. These restraints use the belt system in your vehicle, the but child alsohas to be secured withinthe restraint to help reduce the chance of personal injury. The instructions that come with the infant or child restraint will show you how to do that. 34
