"Remember that a collision at 30 MPH is the same as falling a distance 
of 10 meters. Expressed in other terms, transporting a child without a 
restraint is the equivalent of allowing them to play on a forth-floor 
balcony without railings."

Hmm. A fall from a fourth-floor balcony might not be fatal. But you can 
bet there's gonna be broken bones! :-D (Altough if you fall of a 
balcony, you'll presumably hit concrete. The insane of a car is softer 
than that.)

"Under no circumstances should babies of children be allowed to travel 
sitting on the knees of another passenger. If a frontal impact occurs at 
30 MPH, a child weighing 30 Kg will be transformed into a missile the 
equivalent of one ton. You will find it impossible to hold the child, 
even if you yourself are wearing a belt."

Well, that seems crystal clear to me! :-D I wander what happens if you 
have an unrestrained labradore wandering around the car? (Like people 
regularly do, every single day...)

"It is particularly dangerous to put the belt round your childn when 
they are sitting on your lap."

OMG, WTF? PEOPLE DO THIS?? O_O
