A safety restraint is a device designed to secure occupants in a vehicle, preventing them from being thrown forward or ejected during a collision. Common types of safety restraints include seat belts and child safety seats. These devices help reduce the risk of injury by keeping passengers in place and distributing the forces of a crash across stronger parts of the body. In addition to seat belts, some vehicles are equipped with airbags, which deploy during a crash to provide extra cushioning. Proper use of safety restraints is crucial for all passengers, including children, who should be placed in appropriate child safety seats based on their age and size.
