If they do, they
could be very seriously injured in a
crash. During a crash, the
belt could press deep into the child
and cause serious or fatal injuries. Children who play in vehicles can
accidentally get trapped inside.
Teach your children not to play in
or around vehicles. Even very young
children learn how to unlock
vehicle doors, turn on the ignition
switch, and open the hatch, which
can lead to accidental injury or
death.
If you are not wearing a
seat belt in a crash, you could be
thrown f orward and crush the
child against the dashboard or a
seat-back. If you are wearing a
seat belt the child can be torn
from your arms and be seriously
hurt or killed. Leaving children without
adult supervision is illegal in most
states and Canadian provinces,
and can be very hazardous.
For example, infants and small
childrenleftinavehicleonahot
day can die f rom heatstroke. A
child lef t alone with the key in the
ignition can accidentally set the
vehicle in motion, possibly injuring
themselves or others.
Additional Saf ety Precautions
Never let two children use the
same seat belt .
Never put a seat belt over yourself
and a child. Lock both doors and the hatchwhen your vehicle is not in use. K eep vehicle keys and remot e
transmitters out of reach ofchildren.
Neverholdaninfantorchildon
your lap. Do not leave children alone in a
vehicle.
