Where to Put the Restraint (Regular Cab
and Extended Cab Pickup)
The child restraint must be secured properly in the right
front passenger seat. If you want to secure a rear
-facing
child restraint in the right front passenger’s seat, turn off
the passenger’s air bag. See “Air Bag Off Switch” and
“Securing a Child Restraint in the Right Front Seat
Position” in the Index for more on this, including
important safety information.
CAUTION:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger’s air bag inflates. This is because the
back of the rear
-facing child restraint would be
very close to the inflating air bag. Be sure to turn
off the air bag before using a rear
-facing child
restraint in the right front seat position.
Where to Put the Restraint
(Crew Cab Pickup)
Accident statistics show that children are safer if they
are restrained in the rear rather than the front seat.
General Motors, therefore, recommends that child
restraints be secured in a rear seat outside position,
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. Never put a rear
-facing
child restraint in the right front passenger’s seat.
