Children
Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! That includes
infants and all children smaller than adult size. Neither
the distance traveled nor the age and
s'ize of
the traveler
changes the
need, for
everyone, to
use
safety restraints.

every
Canadian province says children
up to

nor its
air
bag system is
designed for them. Young children
and infants need the protection that
a
child
restraint system can provide, Always secure
children properly in your vehicle,
