Safe Practices
*
EVE R YONE rides buckled up or the vehicle DOES
NOT GO! Make N O EXCEPTIONS for adults or children!
- If someone unbuckles, the vehicle S T OPS! Being
firm and consistent will result in fewer discipline
problems as children grow olde r . An unrestrained
person can be thrown into and injure other
passengers.
- NEVER try to tend to a crying child ’ s needs while
driving. Never take a child out of a child restraint for
comforting while the vehicle is moving.
* Put heavy or sharp items in the trunk. Loose items can
be deadly in a crash.
* If you need to use a blanket in cold weathe r , put the
child in the restraint and cover both with the blanket.
