How should I secure a child restraint in the rear seat with the LATCH system?

To secure a child restraint in the rear seat of your Chevrolet Sonic (2019) with the LATCH system, follow these steps: 1. Use a child restraint with LATCH attachments designed for the LATCH system in your vehicle. 2. Attach the LATCH attachments on the child restraint to the anchors in the vehicle. This system is designed to make installation easier. 3. For rear-facing and forward-facing child seats, use either the LATCH anchors or the vehicle's seat belts, not both. 4. Booster seats should use the vehicle's seat belts unless the manufacturer recommends using the LATCH system. 5. When installing a child restraint with a top tether, use either the lower anchors or the seat belts in addition to the top tether. 6. Do not exceed a combined weight of 29.5 kg (65 lbs) for the child and the restraint when using the LATCH system. Switch to the seat belt alone if the weight exceeds this limit.

What should I do if the instructions for the child restraint require the top tether to be attached?

To secure a child restraint in the Chevrolet Sonic (2019) when the instructions require the top tether to be attached, follow these steps: 1. Locate the top tether anchor in the vehicle, which is used to secure the top of the child restraint. 2. Connect the top tether attachment hook on the child restraint to the top tether anchor in the vehicle to reduce forward movement and rotation of the child restraint during driving or in a crash. 3. Ensure that the child restraint may have a single tether or a dual tether, both with a single attachment hook to secure the top tether to the anchor. 4. Some child restraints require the top tether always to be attached, while others are designed for optional use. Check the instructions for your specific child restraint to determine if the top tether must be attached. 5. In Canada, forward-facing child restraints must have a top tether attached by law. Be sure to read and follow the instructions provided with your child restraint for proper installation.

How can I prevent the shoulder belt from tightening around a child's neck?

To prevent the shoulder belt from tightening around a child's neck in a Chevrolet Sonic (2019), follow these steps: - Ensure the shoulder belt does not cross the child's face or neck. - Position the lap belt snugly below the hips, touching the top of the thighs to apply belt force to the pelvic bones in a crash. - Never wear the lap belt over the abdomen to avoid severe internal injuries in a crash. - Always use the shoulder belt over the shoulder and across the chest to restrain the child properly. - Buckle any unused seat belts behind the child restraint to prevent children from reaching them. - Pull the shoulder belt all the way out of the retractor to set the lock and tighten it behind the child restraint after installation.
