Protecting Children

Children depend on adults to protect

them. However, despite their best

intentions, many parents and other

adults may not know how to properly

protect young passengers.

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.

All Children Must Be Restrained

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.

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.

Any child who is too small to wear a

seat belt should be properly

restrained in a child seat. (See page

23

.)

A larger child should always be

restrained with a seat belt. (See page

34

.)

Driver and Passenger Safety

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.
