Cadillac ESCALADE EXT 2003 - Page 39

People should never hold a baby in their arms
while riding in
a vehicle. A baby doesn’t weigh
much
-- until a crash. During a crash a baby
will become so heavy it is not possible to hold
it. For example, in
a crash at only 25 mph (40
km/h),
a 12-lb. (5.5 kg) baby will suddenly
become
a 240-lb. (110 kg) force on a person’s
arms.
A baby should be secured in an
appropriate restraint.
