Neitherthe distance traveled nor the age and size of the travelerchanges the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints.In fact, the law in every state in the United States and inevery Canadian province says children up to so ; agemust be restrained while in a vehicle.Smaller Children and BabiesIChildren who are up against, or very close to, anair bag when it inflates can be seriously injuredor killed. Air bags plus lap-shoulder belts offerthe best protection for adults and older children,but not for young children and infants. Neitherthe vehicle’s safety belt system nor its air bagsystem is designed for them. Young children andinfants need the protection that a child restraintsystem can provide.
