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. 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.
