Children and Air Bags

Air bags save lives. They work best when everyone is buckled and children are properly restrained in the back seat. Children riding in the frost seat can be seriously injured or killed when an air bag comes out in a crash. An air bag is not a soft, billowy pillow. To do its important job, an air bag comes out of the dashboard at up to 200mph - faster than the blink of an eye. The force of an air bag can hurt those who are too close to it. Drivers can help prevent airbag-related injuries to adults and children by following critical safety points.
