CAUTION:

People should never hold a baby in their arms
while riding in a vehicle. A baby doesn’t weigh
much

until a crash. During a crash a baby

will become so heavy it is not possible to hold it.

CAUTION: (Continued)

For example, in a crash at only 25 mph (40 km/h),
a 12

lb. (5.5 kg) baby will suddenly become a

240

lb. (110 kg) force on a person’s arms. A baby

should be secured in an appropriate restraint.
