Protecting Children
Any child who is too small to wear a
seat belt should be properly
restrained in a child seat. (See page
26 .)
A larger child should always be
restrained with a seat belt. (See page
38 .)
Children Should Sit in the Back
Seat
According to accident statistics,
children of all ages and sizes are
safer when they are restrained in the
back seat, not the front seat. The
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration and Transport
Canada recommend that all children
ages 12 and under be properly
restrained in the back seat.
In the back seat, children are less
likely to be injured by striking hard
interior parts during a collision or
hard braking. Also, children cannot
be injured by an inflating airbag
when they ride in the back.
The Passenger's Airbag Poses
Serious Risks to Children
Airbags have been designed to help
protect adults in a moderate to
severe frontal collision. To do this,
the passenger's airbag is quite large,
and it inflates with tremendous
speed.
