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.
Q:
What are the different types of add-on child
restraints?
A:
Add-on child restraints, which are purchased by the
vehicle’s owner, are available in four basic types.
Selection
of
a particular restraint should take
into consideration not only the child’s weight, height
and age but also whether or not the restraint will
be compatible with the motor vehicle in which it will
be used.
