CAUTION:
Children
who
are
up
against,
or
very
close
to,
any
airbag
when
it
inflates
can
be
seriously
injured
or
killed.
Airbags
plus
lap-shoulder
belts
offer
protection
for
adults
and
older
children,
but
not
for
young
children
and
infants.
Neither
the
vehicle’s
safety
belt
system
nor
its
airbag
system
is
designed
for
them.
Young
children
and
infants
need
the
protection
that
a
child
restraint
system
can
provide.
