Seats & Restraint Systems Where to Put the Restraint Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are restrainedin the rear rather than the front seat. at We 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 thatcase, you might want to secure the restraint in the front seatwhere you can keep an eye on the baby. Wherever you install it, be sure to secure thechild restraint properly. Keep in mind that anunsecured 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. 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 thethird row lapshoulder belts meet the floor. There's a vinyl sleeve there; toget to the bracket, push this vinyl sleeveaside 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. 36
