Children depend on adults to protect
them. However, despite their best
intentions, many parents and other
adults may not know how to
protect young passengers.

To reduce the number of child
deaths and injuries, every state and
Canadian province requires that
infants and children be restrained
whenever they ride in a vehicle.

Each year, many children are injured
or killed in vehicle crashes because
they are either unrestrained or not
properly restrained. In fact, vehicle
accidents are the number one cause
of death of children ages 12 and
under.

So if you have children, or if you ever
need to drive with a grandchild or
other children in your car, be sure to
read this section.

Children who are unrestrained

or improperly restrained can be

seriously injured or killed in a

crash.

Any child too small for a seat

belt should be properly

restrained in a child seat. A

larger child should be properly

restrained with a seat belt.
