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.

arms.
A
baby should be secured in an
appropriate restraint.
Children who are up against, or very close to,
any air bag when
it
inflates can be seriously
injured or killed. Air bags plus lap-shoulder
belts offer outstanding protection for adults
and older children, 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.
