Child Safety
Protecting Child Passengers
Each year, many children are injured or killed in vehicle crashes because they are
either unrestrained or not properly restrained. In fact, vehicle crashes are the
number one cause of death of children aged 12 and under.
To reduce the number of child deaths and injuries, infants and children should be
properly restrained when they ride in a vehicle.
Children should sit properly restrained in a rear seat.
This is because:
•
An inflating front or side airbag
*
can injure
or kill a child sitting in the front seat.
•
A child in the front seat is more likely to
interfere with the driver's ability to safely
control the vehicle.
•
Statistics show that children of all sizes and
ages are safer when they are properly
restrained in a rear seat.
