Child Restraint
Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up at all times - babies and children,
too. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small
children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted
for ignoring it.
Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if
available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seats, rather than in the front.
There are different size and types of restraints for children from newborn size to the
child almost large enough for an adult safety belt. Always check the child seat
owner’s manual to ensure you have the correct seat for your child. Use the restraint
that is correct for your child.
WARNING!
In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a missile inside
the vehicle. The force required to hold an infant could become so great that you
could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could
be badly injured. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper restraint for
the child’s size.
