Ultimately, it
is the individual who must take responsibility for his or her own behavior.
Since young children are unable to protect themselves, parents and care
givers are responsible for transporting children safely. Every person
living in America should:
- Buckle up —
every time, every trip
- Properly secure
every child in a vehicle in a child safety seat, booster seat, or seat
belt appropriate for the child's age and weight
- Place children
in the safest place in a vehicle — the back seat
- Never put a rear
facing child seat (the kind used for infants) in the front seat of a
car with an air bag
- Seek assistance
if unsure about the correct way to secure a child in a safety seat or
about the proper installation of a safety seat into a vehicle
