CAUTION:
People
should
never
hold
a
baby
in
their
arms
while
riding
in
a
vehicle.
A
baby
does
not
weigh
much
—
until
a
crash.
During
a
crash
a
baby
will
become
so
heavy
it
is
not
possible
to
hold
it.
For
example,
in
a
crash
at
only
25
mph
(40
km/h),
a
12
lb
(5.5
kg)
baby
will
suddenly
become
a
240
lb
(110
kg)
force
on
a
person’s
arms.
A
baby
should
be
secured
in
an
appropriate
restraint.
