SAFETY
Never hold a baby in arms when riding in a motor vehicle. In this position the baby could be thrown
against the dashboard, windscreen or other occupant and suffer serious injury or death.
When riding in a motor vehicle, never nurse a baby and use the same seat belt for both of you. In this
position the baby or child could be crushed.
Children must be secured in appropriate restraints at all times when the car is in motion. Children
travelling unrestrained and standing up in the car are in danger of serious injury or death. Traffic
regulations in all states require children to be secured in child restraints or adult seat belts where
available.
Plan your trip with frequent comfort stops to reduce stress on babies, young children and driver. Keep
the car well ventilated to reduce heat stress. Two car windows should be kept open to maintain a good
flow of fresh air if air conditioning is not used.
Never leave babies or toddlers in a stationary car in the sun because of the risk of heat exhaustion.
Ensure babies and toddlers are adequately shaded from direct sunlight through side or rear windows.
Be on guard against carbon monoxide poisoning which can occur through only a slight leak in the
exhaust system while travelling in a closed car.
Securely stow all heavy objects, feeding bottles, etc. that could become missiles during an accident
and cause injury to any occupant.
