SAFETY
Babies and older children must
never ride in a vehicle sitting on the lap of an adult. Holding a child in your arms is never a substitute
for a child restraint system. The strongest adult could not hold onto the child under the forces ex­
erted in an accident. The child
would strike the interior of the ve­hicle and could also be struck by
the adult's body moving forward. The child and the adult could in­
jure each another.
