Danger
This picture shows a child seated in a
seat with a lap-shoulder belt used
incorrectly. If a child uses the belt this
way, in a crash the child can suffer
injuries and risk of death.
Infants and Young Children
Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This
includes infants and all other children.
Neither the distance travelled nor the age
and size of the traveller changes the need,
for everyone, to use safety restraints.
{
Warning
Children can be seriously injured or killed
if the shoulder belt is worn behind their
back, under their legs, or wrapped around
their neck. Never leave children
unattended in a vehicle and never allow
children to improperly wear, or play with,
the seat belts.
Every time infants and young children ride
in vehicles, they should have the protection
provided by appropriate child restraints.
Neither the vehicle seat belt system nor its
airbag system is designed for them.
Children who are not restrained properly can
strike other people, or can be thrown out of
the vehicle.
{
Warning
Never hold an infant or a child while
riding in a vehicle. Due to crash forces, an
infant or a child will become so heavy it
is not possible to hold it during a crash.
For example, in a crash at only 40 km/h
(25 mph), a 5.5 kg (12 lb) infant will
suddenly become a 110 kg (240 lb) force
on a person's arms. An infant or child
should be secured in an appropriate child
restraint.
{
Warning
Children who are up against, or very
close to, any airbag when it inflates can
be seriously injured or killed. Never put a
rear-facing child restraint in the front
outboard seat. Secure a rear-facing child
restraint in a rear seat. It is also better to
secure a forward-facing child restraint in
a rear seat. If you must secure a
forward-facing child restraint in the front
outboard seat, always move the front
passenger seat as far back as it will go.
