Smaller Children and Babies
Children
Everyone in a vehicle needs protection!
That includes infants and all children
smaller than adult size.
In fact, the law
in every state and Canadian province
says children up to some age must be
restrained while in a vehicle.
I CAUTION
A
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.
