Chevrolet 2001 instruction

CAUTION: (Continued)

For example, in a crash at only 25 mph (40 km/h), a 12-lb. (5.5 kg) baby will suddenly become a

240-lb. (110 kg) force on a person's arms. A baby should be secured in an appropriate restraint.

CAUTION:

People should never hold a baby in their arms while riding in a vehicle. A baby doesn't weigh much --until a crash. During a crash a baby will become so heavy it is not possible to hold it.

CAUTION: (Continued)
