Child Passenger Safety

Buckle Up Every Age, Every Seat, Every Trip
Motor vehicle injuries are a leading cause of death among children in the United States, but many of these deaths can be prevented. Parents and caregivers can reduce the risk of serious injuries and deaths by up to 80% by making sure children are properly buckled in the correct car seat or booster seat.
