applied right on the abdomen.
That could cause serious or fatal
injuries. The shoulder belt should
go over the shoulder and across
the chest.
Infants and Young
Children
Everyone in a vehicle needs
protection! This includes infants and
all other children. Neither the
distance travelled nor the age and
size of the traveller changes the
need, for everyone, to use safety
restraints.
{
Warning
Children can be seriously injured
or strangled if a shoulder belt is
wrapped around their neck and
the seat belt continues to tighten.
Never leave children unattended
in a vehicle and never allow
children to play with the seat
belts.
Every time infants and young
children ride in vehicles, they should
have the protection provided by
appropriate child restraints. Neither
the vehicle's seat belt system nor its
airbag system is designed for them.
Children who are not restrained
properly can strike other people,
or can be thrown out of the vehicle.
{
Warning
Never hold an infant or a child
while riding in a vehicle. Due to
crash forces, an infant or a child
will become so heavy it is not
possible to hold it during a crash.
For example, in a crash at only
40 km/h, a 5.5 kg (12 lb) infant
will suddenly become a 110 kg
(240 lb) force on a person's arms.
An infant should be secured in an
appropriate restraint.
