Children depend on adults to protect

them. However, despite their best

intentions, many adults do not know

how to

properly

protect child

passengers.

If you have children, or ever need to

drive with a child in your vehicle, be

sure to read this section. It begins

with important general guidelines,

then presents special information for

infants, small children, and larger

children.

All Children Must Be Restrained

Each year, many children are injured

or killed in vehicle crashes because

they are either unrestrained or not

properly restrained. In fact, vehicle

collisions are the number one cause

of the death of children age 12

To reduce the number of child

deaths and injuries, every state,

Canadian province and territory

requires that infants and children be

properly restrained when they ride in

a vehicle.

Infants and small children must be

restrained in an approved child seat

that is properly secured to the vehicle

(see pages 44 － 55).

Children who are unrestrained

or improperly restrained can be

seriously injured or killed in a

crash.

Any child too small for a seat

belt should be properly

restrained in a child seat. A

larger child should be properly

restrained with a seat belt and

use a booster seat if necessary.

Larger children must be restrained

with a lap/shoulder belt and ride on a

booster seat until the seat belt fits

them properly

(see pages 56 － 59).
