Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death among children.

That means selecting a car seat that\u2019s appropriate for a child\u2019s age and size and installing it correctly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe encourage parents to take advantage of car seat safety checks available during Passenger Safety Week (September 19-25th<\/sup>).\u00a0 With proper car seat, car seat installment, and seat belt placement, children are far safer during a motor vehicle collision,” said Carabin Shaw Attorney Carla Dixon. “Knowing the guidelines for height and weight for your children is also extremely important to ensure your child is in the proper car seat or booster seat.\u00a0 Serious injuries can be greatly reduced as well if we place children rear-facing car seats until ages 2-4.\u201d<\/p>\n
