What Can You Do To Ensure Car Safety For Children?

Penny Ahlstrom

Always buckle them in, and never give in to whining that they don't want to be strapped into the car seat. Follow the instructions/guidelines for the car seat you are using.

Amanda Laferty Baker

During the winter remember to remove bulky coats before placing children in the car seat as they can prevent you from tightening the straps well enough to keep them restrained in the event of an accident.

James Armstrong

Set a good example...like everything else you do as a parent!

Jennifer Wolsing

Don't let well-meaning relatives talk you into letting them sit up front or outside of their booster/car seat "just this once," because "we always used to do it in the 70s and we all were fine." The safety systems are there for a reasons! 😊

Put a mirror on the back seat where car seat is- so driver can see child in rear facing seat.

No winter coats in a car seat!

Mary Nguyen

In cold weather remove their coats before you buckle them in. And use their coat as a blanket to keep them warm. Recent studies shows that on hard impact a small child can slip right out of their coat while strap in due to straps not tight enough around the small child.

Always wear seat belts. No seat belt is no go. Is my motto.
