{CAUTION:

Newborn infants need complete support,

including support for the head and neck. This

is necessary because a newborn infant’s neck

is weak and its head weighs so much

compared with the rest of its body. In a crash,

an infant in a rear-facing seat settles into the

restraint, so the crash forces can be

distributed across the strongest part of an

infant’s body, the back and shoulders. Infants

always should be secured in appropriate infant

restraints.

{CAUTION:

The body structure of a young child is quite

unlike that of an adult or older child, for whom

the safety belts are designed. A young child’s

hip bones are still so small that the vehicle’s

regular safety belt may not remain low on the

hip bones, as it should. Instead, it may settle

up around the child’s abdomen. In a crash, the

belt would apply force on a body area that is

unprotected by any bony structure. This alone

could cause serious or fatal injuries. Young

children always should be secured in

appropriate child restraints.
