Children
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.
CAUTION: (Continued)
r
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.
