CAUTION:
{
Newborn infants need complete support,
including support for the head and neck.
This is necessary because a newborn
infant's neck is weak and its head weighs
so much compared with the rest of its
body. In a crash, an infant in a rear-facing
seat settles into the restraint, so the
crash forces can be distributed across
the strongest part of an infant's body,
the back and shoulders. Infants always
should be secured in appropriate infant
restraints.
CAUTION:
{
The body structure of a young child is
quite unlike that of an adult or older child,
for whom the safety belts are designed.
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.
Young children always should be secured
in appropriate child restraints.
