Chevrolet Trax: Securing Child Restraints (Front Passenger Seat - Mexico)

Chevrolet Trax (2013-2022) Owner's Manual / Seats and Restraints / Child Restraints / Securing Child Restraints (Front Passenger Seat - Mexico)

This vehicle has airbags. A rear seat is a safer place to secure a forward-facing child restraint. See Where to Put the Restraint

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.

Warning

A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the passenger airbag inflates. This is because the back of the rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating airbag. Secure rear-facing child restraints in a rear seat. A child in a forward-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the front outboard passenger airbag inflates and the passenger seat is in a forward position. If you secure a forward-facing child restraint in the front outboard passenger seat, always move the passenger seat as far back as it will go. It is better to secure the child restraint in a rear seat.

If the child restraint uses a top tether, see Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH System) on page 3-50 for top tether anchor locations.

Do not secure a child seat in a position without a top tether anchor if a national or local law requires that the top tether be anchored, or if the instructions that come with the child restraint say that the top strap must be anchored.

When using the lap-shoulder belt to secure the child restraint in this position, follow the instructions that came with the child restraint and the following instructions:

  1.  Move the seat as far back as it will go before securing the forward-facing child restraint.
  2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
  3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder portions of the vehicle's safety belt through or around the restraint. The child restraint instructions will show you how.

  1. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.

    Position the release button on the buckle so that the safety belt could be quickly unbuckled if necessary.

  1. To tighten the belt, push down on the child restraint, pull the shoulder portion of the belt to tighten the lap portion of the belt and feed the shoulder belt back into the retractor. When installing a forward-facing child restraint, it may be helpful to use your knee to push down on the child restraint as you tighten the belt.
  2. Before placing a child in the child restraint, make sure it is securely held in place. To check, push and pull the child restraint in different directions to be sure it is secure.

To remove the child restraint, unbuckle the vehicle safety belt and let it return to the stowed position.
