A
CAUTION:
Never hold a baby
in
your
arms
while riding in a vehicle.
A
baby
doesn't weigh much
-0
until a crash. During
a
crash
a
baby will
become
so
heavy
you can't hold it.
For
example,
in
a
crash
at
only
25
mph
(40
km/h),
a 12-pound
(5.5
kg)
baby
will
suddenly
become
a
240-pound
(110
kg)
force
on
your
arms.
The baby
would be almost impossible to hold.
Secure
the
baby in
an
infant restraint.
CHILD
RESTUNTS
Be sure
to
follow the instructions for the restraint. You may find these
instructions
on
the rcstraint itself or in
a
booklet, or both. These restraints
use the belt
system
in your vehicle, but
the
child also has to be secured
within
the
restraint
to
help
reduce
the
chance
of
personal injury.
The
instructions that
come
with the infant
or
child restraint will show you how
to
do
that.
