Children
Smaller Children and Babies
Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! That includes
infants and all children smaller than adult size. Neither
the distance traveled nor the age and size
of
the traveler
changes the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints.
In fact, the law
in
every state in the United States and
in
every Canadian province
says
children up to some age
must be restrained while in a vehicle.

CAUTION:
I
Children who are up against, or
very
close to, any
air
bag when
it
inflates can be seriously injured
or killed. This is true even though your vehicle
has reduced-force frontal air bags. Air bags plus
lap-shoulder belts offer the best protection for
adults, but not for young children and infants.
Neither the vehicle’s safety belt system nor its
air
bag system is designed for them. Young children
and infants need the protection that a child
restraint system can provide. Always secure
children properly in your vehicle.
