Child Passenger Safety Week is Sept. 17-23

Keeping your child safe in the car starts at home. This Child Passenger Safety Week, make sure your child is in the right car seat for their age, weight, and height!

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s online Car Seat Finder tool can help you find the correct safety seat for your child.

Using the correct car seat installed in the back seat of your vehicle is proven to increase your child’s safety in case of a crash.

When used effectively, car seat restraints can reduce the risk of fatal injury by 71% for infants and 54% for toddlers.

In 2021, there were 863 child passengers killed in the United States in traffic crashes. Of those killed, 40% were not using a car seat, booster seat or seat belt.

Nearly half of all car seats are installed incorrectly. National Seat Check Saturday is September 23. Find a certified child passenger safety technician to help you learn about and install your child’s car seat correctly
