Children
Everyone
in
a
vehicle needs protection! That includes
infants and all children smaller than adult size. Neither
the distance traveled nor the age and
size
of the traveler
changes the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints.
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.

TTTi3N:
Children who are up against, or very close to, any
air
bag when it inflates can be seriously injured
or killed. This is true even though your vehicle
has reduced-force frontal air bags. Air bags plus
lap-shoulder belts offer the best protection for
adults, 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. Always secure
children properly in your vehicle.
