Safe transport of children

Safe transport of children

For the best protection in the event of

a collision, all the vehicle's occupants

must travel seated and protected by all

the suitable restraining systems. The

seat belts are designed to be used by

persons whose physical characteristics

(age, height, weight) are provided for

by established legislation in each

country. Anyone who does not comply

with these provisions may not travel in

the passenger seat.

This also applies to children. Their

heads are proportionally heavier and

larger than those of adults, while their

bones and muscles are relatively

undeveloped. For children to be

restrained correctly in the event of a

collision, suitable restraining or safety

systems must be used.

Children must never travel

seated on a passenger's lap. A

child weighs very little until a

collision occurs! In a collision, a child

becomes so heavy it is impossible to

hold onto him or her. For example, in a

collision at only 25 mph (40 km/h), a

child weighing 12 lb. (5.5 kg) exerts a

force of 240 lb. (110 kg) against the

arms of the person holding him or her.

Children must always be protected by

a suitable restraining system when

travelling.

Children who are resting on

the airbag or are too close to it

when it is activated, may be

seriously injured. The airbags and

pretensioners offer suitable protection

for adults and teenagers, but not for

children and babies. Neither the seat

belts or the airbags are designed for

them. Children and babies must travel

in suitable restraining systems.

Babies must be supported

completely, including their

head and neck. This is

necessary because a baby's neck is

weak while the head is much bigger

and heavier in proportion to his/her

body. In a collision, if a baby is

travelling in a backwards-facing seat

the forces of an impact are distributed

throughout the more solid parts of the

body, i.e. the back and shoulders.

Babies must always be protected by a

suitable restraining system when

travelling.

A child traveling in a

backwards-facing seat could

be seriously injured by an

airbag being activated. This could

happen because the seat back of the

child's seat may be positioned

extremely close to the airbag at the

moment it is inﬂated.

Check that the airbag has

been deactivated before

positioning a backwards-

facing child's seat on the passenger

seat.
