Things to Remember

Search
  • All children ages 12 and under should sit, properly restrained in the back seat whenever possible. It's safer!

  • Never use just a lap belt across a child sitting in a belt-positioning booster.

  • Never put the shoulder belt behind a child's arm or back because it eliminates the protection for the upper part of the body and increases the risk of severe injury in a crash.

  • Never use pillows, books, or towels to boost a child. They can slide around.
