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 recommends that child restraints

be secured in a 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.

Your vehicle has a rear seat that will accommodate

a rear-facing child restraint. A label on your sun visor

says, “Never put a rear-facing child seat in the

front.” This is because the risk to the rear-facing child is

so great, if the airbag deploys.

{CAUTION:

A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be

seriously injured or killed if the right front

passenger’s airbag inﬂates. This is because

the back of the rear-facing child restraint

would be very close to the inﬂating airbag.

CAUTION: (Continued)

Even though the passenger sensing system is

designed to turn off the passenger’s frontal

airbag if the system detects a rear-facing child

restraint, no system is fail-safe, and no one

can guarantee that an airbag will not deploy

under some unusual circumstance, even

though it is turned off. We recommend that

rear-facing child restraints be secured in the

rear seat, even if the airbag is off.

If you need to secure a forward-facing child

restraint in the right front 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.

Do not use child restraints in the center front seat

position. The restraints will not work properly.

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.
