10
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 page 2.
•
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.
•
DO NOT
dress the child in blanket sleepers or other
clothing that would prevent the crotch strap from
fitting snugly up against the child.
