ARNING:
A
young
child's
hip
bones
are
still
so
small
that
the
vehicle's
regular
safety
belt
may
not
remain
low
on
the
hip
bones,
as
it
should.
Instead,
it
may
settle
up
around
the
child's
abdomen.
In
a
crash,
the
belt
would
apply
force
on
a
body
area
that
is
unprotected
by
any
bony
structure.
This
alone
could
cause
serious
or
fatal
injuries.
T
o
reduce
the
risk
of
serious
or
fatal
injuries
during
a
crash,
young
children
should
always
be
secured
in
appropriate
child
restraints.
Child
Restraint
Systems
A
rear-facing
infant
seat
(A)
provides
restraint
with
the
seating
surface
against
the
back
of
the
infant.
The
harness
system
holds
the
infant
in
place
and,
in
a
crash,
acts
to
keep
the
infant
positioned
in
the
restraint.
A
forward-facing
child
seat
(B)
provides
restraint
for
the
child's
body
with
the
harness.
