Infants

If you have an infant who is less than 1 year old and weighs less than 20 pounds, your infant should be riding in a properly secured rear facing infant seat. If your infant is less than 1 year old, but weighs between 20 and 35 pounds, your infant should be riding in a properly secured rear facing convertible seat recommended for heavier infants.

Infants must ride in rear facing seats in order to best protect them from death or paralyzing type injuries. Babies have heavy heads, but their neck bones and ligaments have not yet developed to the point where they can properly support the head. This is especially true when you consider the force experienced in a car crash. Accordingly, since the most common crashes involve frontal collisions, placing infants in properly secured rear facing child seats best protects them and their necks from injury.

Remember, there are no second chances in automobile crashes. Your children rely on YOU to help keep them safe. Following these simple rules can make all the difference!

1:Always buckle up, every trip, every time!
2:Kids 12 and under in the back seat. This is the safest place for your child!
3:Always use the correct child safety seat for your child's age, height and weight!
4:Always install and use the child safety seat correctly by following the manufacturer's instructions provided with the seat!
5:Never place a rear facing child safety seat in the front passenger seat of vehicles where an airbag is present!
6:Always set a good example for your children by wearing your own seat belt!
