Child Passenger Safety Week

Did you know that safety restraints designed for adults can cause internal injury when used improperly for children in the event of a crash. Keeping your children safe in a vehicle doesn't only mean seating them in the back seat; child vehicular safety should adapt as the child gets older such as figuring out when to transition from rear-facing infant seats to forward-facing toddler seats to booster seats in the back seat, or deciding when your child can safely sit in the front seat. Using the proper seating and protection according to the child's age, height, and weight is very important in order to ensure your child's safety.

Promoting child safety is a great responsiblity that can be spearheaded by the education industry. Administration can give out compressed t-shirts in shape of vehicles to parents during a child safety event. Even local businesses like banks can collaborate with the local schools and give away piggy banks at a child safety program that helps not only raise public awareness and concern for the welfare of children in vehicles but also teaches kids about safe transportation.
