Norval Wardle of Iowa State University Extension Safety stresses proper restraint for children. Infants up to a year should use a padded car crib or bassinet anchored in the back seat. Ages one to five need a strong harness or car seat attached to the car frame, or a lap belt, with five being able to use a lap belt depending on size. Wardle notes that a child must be secured, not held in an adult’s arms, especially in the front seat.
