The lap part of the belt should be low and snug on the hips, just touching
the thighs. In a crash, this applies force
to the strong pelvic bones. And
you’d be less likely to slide under the lap belt.
If you slid under it, the belt
would apply force at your abdomen. This could cause serious or\
even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest.
These parts
of the body are best able to take belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks
if there’s a sudden stop or a crash.

Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! That includes infants and all children
smaller than adult size. In fact, the law in every state and Canadian province
says children up to some age must be restrained while in a vehicle.

Smaiier Children and Babies
I CAUTION
Smaller children and babies should always be restrained in a child or
infant restraint. The instructions for the restraint will say whether it is
the right type and size for 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 a\
bdomen. In a
crash the belt would apply force right on the child’s abdom\
en, which
could cause serious
or fatal injuries. So, be sure that any child small
enough for one is always properly restrained in a child
or infant
I restraint. I

I CAUTION
Never hold a baby in your arms while riding in a vehicle. A baby
doesn’t weigh much-until a crash. During a crash a baby will
become
so heavy you can’t hold it. For example, in a crash at only
25 rnph (40 km/h), a 12-pound (5.5 kg) baby will suddenly become a
240-pound (11
0 kg) force on your arms. The baby would be almost
