Correct answer
- CPueden sufrir graves lesiones cervicales.They can suffer serious neck injuries.
In their first years of life, children's neck muscles are not fully developed, which makes them more likely to suffer serious neck injuries in a road accident. It is important to use a suitable child restraint system to reduce the risk of injury, but even so children may be at risk of serious neck injuries.
