When riding in a vehicle, small children:
Special child seats are available for children who are too small to wear regular safety belts. No person is strong enough to safely hold onto a child of any size during an accident or sudden stop. Never allow a child to ride in a vehicle unless they are properly fastened into a seat.
- May be safely held by a strong adult.
- Will be safe if they are standing on the floor in the back of the vehicle.
- Will not be hurt in an accident because they are small.
- Must never be allowed to ride while standing in the vehicle.
