Children
Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! That includes
infants and all children smaller than adult size. Neither
the distance traveled nor the age and size
of
the traveler
changes the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints.
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 (Except Cargo
Vans with Passenyr Air
Bags)
A
CAUTION:
- -
I
Children who are up against, or very close to, any
air bag when it inflates can be seriously injured
or killed. This is true even
if
your vehicle has
reduced-force frontal
air
bags. Air bags plus
lap-shoulder belts offer the best protection for
adults, but not for young children and infants.
Neither the vehicle’s safety belt system nor its air
bag system is designed for them. Young children
and infants need the protection that a child
restraint system can provide. Always secure
children properly in your vehicle.
