CAUTION: (Continued)
For example, in a crash at only 25 mph (40 km/h),
-
a 12
lb. (5.5 kg) baby will suddenly become a
-
240
lb. (110 kg) force on a person's arms. A baby
should be secured in an appropriate restraint.
CAUTION:
Children who are up against, or very close to,
any air bag when it inflates can be seriously
injured or killed. Air bags plus lap
offer outstanding protection for adults and older
children, but not for young children and infants.
Neither the vehicle's safety belt system nor its air
bag system is designed for them. Young children
and infants need the protection that a child
restraint system can provide.
