How do I safely
buckle my kids?
|
Do's |
Don'ts |
|
Do restrain your child appropriately for his or her
age, weight and height. |
Don’t put your child in the front seat. Children
12 and under should sit in the back seat appropriately
restrained. |
|
Do follow directions that come with the
child safety seat, as well as the child passenger restraint
directions in your vehicle’s owner’s manual. |
Don’t place a child in front of an
airbag because they are made to protect adults, not children.
Children 12 and under should ride in the back seat, away
from air bags. |
