A
CAUTIO,
,t
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.
