With the holiday season moving into full swing, families across the country are in the car (or minivan or SUV) and on the go. Whether you’re driving across the country to visit family or just across town to do your holiday shopping, it’s important that your kids are riding safely and that your child safety seats are used correctly. Make sure you know the age and size restrictions for rear-facing car seats, front-facing car seats, and booster seats – and make sure the seats are installed and fastened properly.
AAA estimated that 30 million people were travelling over this Thanksgiving holiday alone, and for many, this is just the beginning of the holiday craziness. Now is the time to check out the Child Car Safety tools provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Ad Council to learn more about proper car seat use and installation. You will find informative resources that include instructional videos.
If you have any child passenger safety questions that you need to have answered before you travel over the river and through the woods to Grandma’s house, NHTSA is always available to answer your questions online through Facebook and Twitter.
