CAUTION
I
A
Never hold a baby in your
arms while riding in a vehicle.
A
baby doesn't weigh much-until
a crash. During a crash a baby will
become
so
heavy you can't hold it.
For example, in a crash at only
25 mph
(40
lun/h), a 12-pound
(5.5
kg) baby will suddenly become
a 240-pound
(1
10
kg) force on your
arms. The baby would be almost
impossible
to
hold.

(Continued)
Secure the baby in an infant
restraint.
Child
Restraints
Be sure to follow the instructions for
the restraint. You may find these
instructions on the restraint itself or
in
a booklet, or both. These restraints use
the belt system in your vehicle, but the
child also has to be secured within the
restraint to help reduce the chance of
personal injury. The instructions that
come with the infant
or
child
restraint
will show you how to do that.
