I sent an email to Hummer regarding the absence of childproof locks on the H3.
I received the following reply:
"Thank you for contacting HUMMER and for your interest in the HUMMER H3! In section 3 of the Owners Manual there is information that explains the automatic door lock system. The default lock program locks all the doors when the vehicle is taken out of Park and then unlocks the doors once the vehicle is placed back into Park, this is with the automatic tranmission. The manual locks the doors when speeds are greater than 15 mph and then will only unlock when the key is removed from the ignition. The automatic locking system can be programmed according to your needs.
To obtain more information regarding the H3, please visit www.hummer.com or contact your preferred dealership.
We hope that this information answers your question. If you need additional information or have further questions, please let us know via email or by calling HUMMER at 1-800-732-5493, between 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM Eastern Time, Monday - Friday. Again, thank you for contacting HUMMER!

Not much of a answer - you better keep looking backwards.

Funny... I never thought to look when I got my H3. I just assumed they were there, just like they were there on all the other vehicles I'd owned for the last how many years...

Reading "Jack's" reply makes me feel that "Jack" has no idea what you asked. Difference between programmable power door locks and the child safety door locks.
Only thing I could say is if the doors are locked, a kid could not open them with just the handle, they would have to manually move the little door lock handle prior to pulling the door open handle.
Couldn't you tie up the kids to prevent them form trying to open the doors?
Kidding aside, I helped raise three very adventuresome boys, and they never tried to open the door when the vehicle was moving, and this was in the days before the child proof rear door lock.

The lack of child proof locks is a problem for me and I was hoping that they were built into H3`s computer. I know now that they are not.
I have 2 very young boys 2 1/2 and 6 months old. The older boy always open his door every time we stop, as I sometimes run into a store and mom and the boys wait in the car. He knows how to move the lock over and open the door.
I really wish I had the child proof locks, but nothing I can do.
That would be my only complaint of my H3, other than that I love it.
Aloha, H3-o
