Where to Put the Restraint
(Extended Cab Pickup)
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. There is limited space in
the rear seating area of an extended cab model. If you
want to secure a child restraint in a rear seating position
of an extended cab model, especially in the rear center
position, be sure to study the instructions that came with
your child restraint to see if there is enough room to
secure your seat properly.
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, even though your
vehicle has Next Generation frontal air bags. 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.
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.
