Children
To
unlatch the belt, just push the button on the buckle.
Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! That includes
infants
and
all
children smaller than adult size. 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.
Smaller Children and Babies
A
CAUTION:
-
Smaller children and babies should always be
restrained in
a
child
or
infant restraint. The
instructions for the restraint will say whether it is
the right type and size for your child.
A
very
young child’s hip bones are
so
small that a
regular belt might not stay low on the hips, as it
should. Instead, the belt will likely be over the
child’s abdomen. In a crash, the belt would apply
force right on the child’s abdomen, which could
cause serious or fatal injuries.
So,
be sure that
any child small enough for one is always properly
restrained in a child or infant restraint.
