Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection!That includes infants and all children smaller than adult size. In fact, the law in every state inthe United States and in every Canadian province says children up to some age must be restrained while in a vehicle. Smaller Children and Babies ACAUTION: Smaller children and babies should always be restrained in a child or infant restraint. The instructions for the restraint will say whether it is the right type and size for your child. CAUTION: (Continued) A very young child'ship bones are so small that a regular belt mightnot stay low on the hips, as it should. Instead, the belt will likely be over the child's abdomen.In a crash, the belt would apply force right on the child's abdomen, which could cause serious or fatal injuries. So, be sure that any child small enough for one is always properly restrained in a child infant restraint. or 1-35
