{CAUTION:

Children can be seriously injured or strangled if

a shoulder belt is wrapped around their neck

and the safety belt continues to tighten. Never

leave children unattended in a vehicle and never

allow children to play with the safety belts.

Every time infants and young children ride in vehicles,

they should have the protection provided by appropriate

restraints. Children who are not restrained properly

can strike other people, or can be thrown out of the

vehicle. In addition, young children should not use the

vehicle’s adult safety belts alone; they need to use a

child restraint.

{CAUTION:

People should never hold an infant in their

arms while riding in a vehicle. An infant

does not weigh much — until a crash.

CAUTION: (Continued)

During a crash an infant 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)

infant will suddenly become a 240 lb (110 kg)

force on a person’s arms. An infant should be

secured in an appropriate restraint.
