Safety Restraints for Children

In the U.S. and Canada, you are required by law
to use safety restraints for children. If small
children ride in your vehicle — this generally
includes children who are four years old or
younger and who weigh 40 pounds (18 kg) or
less — you must put them in safety seats that
are made specially for children. Safety belts
alone do not provide maximum protection for
these children. Check your local and state laws
for specific requirements.
Never let a passenger hold a child on
his or her lap while the vehicle is
moving. The passenger cannot protect
the child from injury in a collision.
Make sure children sit where they
can be properly restrained. If they
are not restrained, the risk of their
being injured in a collision greatly
increases.
Never let children or adults ride in
the cargo area of your vehicle. Make
sure that they sit where they can be
properly restrained. If they are not
restrained, the risk of their being
injured in a collision greatly
increases.
