Everyone ia
a vekli.de n e d s
protectio:n! That includes
infants and all
children
smaller than. adult size. In-fact,
thdaw in every -state in the United States and every
Canadian province
.say:s thildreri-up to
some
:age
.must. be
restrained while in a vehicle.
I
Smaller children and babies
should
always
be
restrained in
a
chiid or i-nfant restriaint.
The
instructions
far
the
re&trairit will say whether
it is
the right type- and :size-€or your child. A very
young child's hip bones. are so small that:a
regular belt might not stay low on
the hips, as
it
should. Instead, the belt will .likely.be over .the
child's abdomen. In a crash, the belt would apply
force right on the child's abdomen, which could
cause serious or fatal injuries. So, be sure 'that
any child small enough for one is always properly
restraine.d
in a
child or infant restraint.
