__

born 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 restrained in appropriate infant restraints.

However, infants, who should be restrained

in

a rear-facing child restraint, cannot ride safely

in

this

vehicle.

The body structure of a young cf

I

is

qi

!

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’s unprotected by any bony structure.

This alone could cause serious or fatal

~

injuries. Young children always should be

~

secured in appropriate child restraints.
