If you have children, or ever
need to drive with a child in your
vehicle, be sure to read this

small children, and larger children.

or killed in vehicle crashes because
they are either unrestrained or
not properly restrained. In fact,
traffic collisions are the number
one cause of death of children age
12 and under.
