A young child's hip bones are still so small

that the vehicle's regular safety belt may not

remain low on the hip bones, as it should.

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.

Child Restraint Systems

The harness system holds the infant in place and, in a

crash, acts to keep the infant positioned in the restraint.

A rear-facing infant seat (A)

provides restraint with the

seating surface against the

back of the infant.

A forward-facing child

seat (B) provides restraint

for the child's body

with the harness.
