WARNING (CONTINUED)
Instead, it may settle up around
the child's abdomen. In a crash,
the belt would apply force on a
body area that is unprotected by
any bony structure. This alone
could cause serious or fatal
injuries. To reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injuries during a
crash, young children should
always be secured in appropriate
child restraints.

The harness system holds the infant
in place and, in a crash, acts to
keep the infant positioned in the
restraint.
