Holiday Safety Tips

For on the Road

Buckle up every ride, every time, whether it’s the long trip to visit family or around the block to the mall.
Make sure every rider in the vehicle has their own seat belt or car seat, even for short rides and when traveling with a large group.
Check your car seat before holiday travel. Seventy-three percent of car seats are not used or installed correctly, so check it before you hit the road.
Remember that safety in the car goes beyond your little ones. Kids who have outgrown a forward-facing harness seat are not ready for a seat belt or front seat yet. They are safest in a booster seat that enables the adult seat belt to fit properly. Even when children have graduated from booster seats, they should remain in the back seat until they reach the age of 13.
