Every September, Child Passenger Safety Week reminds parents and caregivers that motor vehicle crashes are one of the leading causes of death for children in the United States, and many of these deaths are preventable.
A car seat that fits a child’s age, height and weight can help reduce the likelihood of crash-related injuries and death.
Take a few minutes to double-check your child’s car seat:
- Check the fit. A child’s car seat needs will change as they grow. Rear-facing, forward-facing, booster and seat belt car seats each have specific age and size guidelines.
- Install it correctly. A car seat can’t properly protect a child if it’s installed incorrectly.
- Don’t rush the transition. When in doubt, stay with the more protective option a bit longer.
Many communities offer free seat belt inspections during Child Passenger Safety Week. Making sure your child’s seat is right for their age and size only takes a few minutes.
