Infants and Young Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This includes infants and all other children. Neither the distance traveled nor the age and size of the traveler changes the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints. In fact, the law in every state in the United States and in every Canadian province says children up to some age must be restrained while in a vehicle. Every time infants and young children ride in vehicles, they should have the protection provided by appropriate restraints. Young children should not use the vehicle's adult safety belts alone, unless there is no other choice. Instead, they need to use a child restraint. People should never hold a baby their arms in 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 possibleto hold it. -- CAUTION: (Continued) 1-58
