There are no specific child restraints that Cadillac recommends or endorses, but we do have some information that might be helpful to you. Cadillac's seats and safety belt systems are designed to accommodate child restraints. However, we cannot be certain that all child restraints will be compatible with Cadillac vehicles. Our cars conform to SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) J1819 standard, which is a recommended guideline for automotive safety belt and child restraint compatibility. Therefore, child restraints that conform to this standard will be more compatible with the seats and safety belt systems used in Cadillac vehicles. Also, your Cadillac Dealer can install a tether anchor kit (at no charge to you) that will anchor front-facing child seats. First, we recommend you work with a child-safety seat manufacturer, or a local retail outlet that sells child restraint seats, for possible suggestions on what type of seat would be most appropriate for your needs. You could also take your child restraint to a checkup event or contact a local CPS technician for additional assistance. There are a couple of websites that have some good information on this topic. Try these:
NHTSA at www.nhtsa.dot.gov;
National Safe Kids www.safekids.org; Safety Beltsafe USA www.carseat.org; American Academy of Pediatrics www.aap.org/family/carseatguide.htm.
In addition, you might want to try checking with your local hospital, police department and fire department for any information they might have.
