Protecting Child Passengers
Safe Driving
•
Any child who is too small to wear a seat belt must be properly restrained in an
approved child restraint system that is properly secured to the vehicle using the
seat belt or the child restraint anchorage system.
•
Never hold a child on your lap because it is impossible to protect them in the
event of a collision.
•
Never put a seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the belt would
likely press deep into the child and cause serious or fatal injuries.
•
Never let two children use the same seat belt. Both children could be very
seriously injured in a crash.
•
Do not allow children to operate the doors, windows or seat adjustments.
•
Do not leave children in the vehicle unattended, especially in hot weather when
the inside of the vehicle can get hot enough to kill them. They could also activate
vehicle controls causing it to move unexpectedly.

improperly restrained can be seriously
injured or killed in a crash.

properly restrained with a seat belt, using a
booster seat if necessary.
