Infant Car Seat Safety
More children are seriously injured and killed in auto accidents than in any other type of accident. Each year, hundreds of lives could be saved if children were protected in cars by using child safety seats. Using a child safety seat is the best protection you can give your child when traveling by car.
When purchasing a car seat, look for:
- Label states that it meets or exceeds the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
- Is the car seat appropriate for your child’s height and weight?
- Be aware of the type of seat belts your car has; all car seats are not compatible with all seat belts.
- Check recent car seat recalls before making a purchase.
