Safe Practices

 

Everyone rides buckled up or the vehicle does 

not go.

 Make no exceptions for adults or children. If 

someone unbuckles, stop the vehicle. Being firm and 

consistent from the start will mean fewer discipline 

problems as children get older. An unrestrained person 

can be thrown into and injure other passengers.

• Many safety advocates and healthcare professionals 

recommend that children ride rear-facing for as long 

as possible. See limitations recommended on  

rear-facing use on the inside front cover.

• 

NEVER

 try to tend to a crying baby’s needs while 

driving. 

NEVER

 take a baby out of a child restraint for 

comforting while the vehicle is moving.

• 

DO NOT

 allow a child in a vehicle to have objects 

such as lollipops or ice cream on a stick. The object 

can injure the child if the vehicle swerves or hits a 

bump.

• 

DO NOT

 feed an infant who is riding in a child 

restraint.

• Put sharp or heavy items in the trunk. Anything loose 

can be deadly in a crash.
