HONDA 2004 Insight - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 29)

Never hold a small child on your
lap. If you are not wearing a seat
belt in crash, you could be thrown
forward and crush the child
against the dashboard. If you are
wearing a seat belt, the child can
be torn from your arms and be
seriously hurt or killed.
Never put a seat belt over yourself
and a child. During a crash, the
belt could press deep into the child
and cause serious or fatal injuries.
Never let two children use the
same seat belt. If they do, they
could be very seriously injured in a
crash.
Keep vehicle keys and remote
transmitters out of reach of
children. Even very young
children learn how to unlock
vehicle doors, turn on the ignition,
and open the hatch, which can
lead to accidental injury or death. Do not leave children alone in a
vehicle. Leaving children without
adult supervision is illegal in most
states and Canadian provinces,
and can be very hazardous.
Lock both doors and the hatch
when your vehicle is not in use.
Children who play in vehicles can
accidentally get trapped inside the
vehicle. Teach your children not to
play in or around vehicles.
For example, a small child left in a
vehicle on a hot day can die from
heatstroke. A child left alone with
the key in the ignition can
accidentally set the vehicle in
motion, possibly injuring himself
or others.
