Children

Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This includes
infants and all other children. Neither the distance
traveled nor the age and size of the traveler changes 
the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints. In fact,
the law in every state in the United States and in every
Canadian province says children up to some age must 
be restrained while in a vehicle.

Infants and Young Children

Every time infants and young children ride in vehicles,
they should have the protection provided by the
appropriate restraint. Young children should not use 
the vehicle’s safety belts, unless there is no other choice.

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.
