WARN ING!
Everyone in you r vehicle need s to be buckled up at all
times — babies and child ren, too. Every state in the
United States and all Canad ian provinces requ ire that

law, and you can be prosecu ted for ignoring it.
In a collision , an unrestrain ed child , even a tin y
baby, can becom e a missile insid e the veh icle. The
force req uired to hold even an infan t on you r lap
could becom e so great that you could not hold the
child , no matter how stron g you are. The child and
oth ers could be badly injured . Any child rid ing in
you r veh icle should be in a prop er restrain t for the
child ’s size.
