THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 71
WARNING!
In a collision, an unrestrained child can become a
projectile inside the vehicle. The force required to

hold even an infant on your lap could become so
great that you could not hold the child, no matter
how strong you are. The child and others could be
badly injured. Any child riding in your vehicle
should be in a proper restraint for the child's size.
