For example, in a crast
t
only
25
mph
(40
km/h), a 12-lb.
(5.5
kg) baby will suddenly
become
a
240-lb. (1
10
kg) force on
a
person’s
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.
