for
occupants of a motor vehicle i n a collision
is the structure of the vehicle itself, and a child restraint will not protect
a
child when the vehicle sustains very serious damage. However, correctly
installed restraints will substantially improve the chances for survival
i n most accidents. Make sure that you understand the correct way to
use this restraint i n your vehicle.
