Child/ Infant Car Seat Installation

Child Passenger Safety Is your infant/child passenger properly restrained in your vehicle? Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among children ages 3 to 14 in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). An average of 5 children age 14 and younger were killed and 568 injured in motor vehicle crashes each day across the United States in 2005. Even a sudden stop can seriously injure a child who is not riding securely in the right type of child safety seat. You can reduce the risk by buckling your child into a properly fitted safety seat every time you ride in the car. Learn to position your child seat by reviewing the directions from the seat manufacturer and your vehicle’s owner manual. It is imperative that you follow the guidelines for age and/or height requirements with each type of seat.
