With the holiday season moving into full swing, families across the country are in the car and on the go. Whether you?re driving across the country to visit family or across town to holiday shop, it is important that your child passengers are riding safely and that child safety seats are used correctly.
AAA estimated that 30 million people travelled this Thanksgiving holiday alone, and for many this is just the beginning of the holiday hustle and bustle. Now is the time to utilize 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.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has found that 3 out of 4 car seats are installed incorrectly, exposing children to unnecessary risk of injury or death in a crash. All child safety seats manufactured in the United States after September 2002 come with the attachment straps necessary to use the LATCH system.
Have child passenger safety questions that you need answered before you travel? NHTSA is always available to answer your questions online through Facebook and Twitter.
