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.

A
CAUTION:
Smaller children and babies shpuld 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)
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.
