Be sure
to
follow the instructions for the restraint. You
may find these instructions on the restraint itself or in a
booklet, or both. These restraints use the belt system in
your vehicle, but the child also has
to
be secured within
the 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.
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.
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.
If
your
child restraint has a top strap,
it
should be
anchored.
If you need
to
have an anchor installed, you can ask
your Buick dealer
to
put
it
in for
you.
If you want to
install
an
anchor yourself, your dealer can tell you how
to do it.
