Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! That includes infants and all children smaller than adult size. 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 childrenup to some age must be restrained while in a vehicle. Smaller Children and Babies I A CAUTION: To make the belt shorter, pull its freeend as shown until the belt is snug. Buckle, position and release it the same way as the lap part of a lap-shoulder belt.If the belt isn't long enough, see "Safety Belt Extender'' at the end of this section. Make sure the release button on the buckle is positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to. Children who are up against, or very close to,an air bag when it inflates can be seriouslyinjured or killed. Air bags plus lap-shoulder belts offer the best protectionfor adults and older children, but not for young children and infants. Neither the vehicle's safety belt system its air bag nor system is designed them. Young children and for infants need the protection that a child restraint system can provide. Always secure children properly in your vehicle. 1-30
