2004 Cadillac XLR Owner's Manual - Page 27

CAUTION: (Continued) For example, in a crash at only 25 mph (40 km/h), a 12-lb. (5.5 kg) baby will suddenly become a 240-lb. (110 kg) force on a person's arms. A baby should be secured in an appropriate restraint. {CAUTION: Children who are up against, or very close to, any air bag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Air bags plus lap-shoulder belts offer outstanding protection for adults and older children, but not for young children and infants. Neither the vehicle's safety belt system nor its air bag system is designed for them. Young children and infants need the protection that a child restraint system can provide. {CAUTION: People should never hold a baby in their arms while riding in a vehicle. A baby doesn't weigh much − until a crash. During a crash a baby will become so heavy it is not possible to hold it. CAUTION: (Continued) 1-21
