Car Seat Safety

Did you know correctly used child safety seats can reduce the risk of death by as much as 71%?

TOP TIPS

• Before you hit the road, check your car seat.  Here is a quick car seat checklist to help you out.  It takes only 15 minutes.  If you are having even the slightest trouble, questions or concerns, certified child passenger safety technicians are able to help or even double check your work.
• Learn how to install your car seat for free.  Safe Kids hosts car seat inspection events across the country where certified technicians can help you learn to install your car seat properly.  They will teach you so that you can always be sure your car seat is used correctly.  Find a Safe Kids car seat checkup near you.
• Buy a used car seat only if you know its full crash history.  That means you must buy it from someone you know, not from a consignment store or over the internet.  Once a car seat has been in a crash or is expired or broken, it needs to be replaced.
• We know that when adults wear seat belts, kids wear seat belts.  So be a good example and buckle up for every ride.  Be sure everyone in the vehicle buckles up, too.
• Never leave your child alone in a car, not even for a minute.  While it may be tempting to dash out for a quick errand, the temperature inside your car can rise 20 degrees and cause heatstroke in the time it takes for you to run in and out of the store.

LEARN MORE

While it may seem like you need an engineering degree to figure out which car seat is best for your child, don't worry.  We've got you covered.  Read more tips and we'll help you pick the right seat for your child's age, weight, height, and developmental stage.

Is your child's car seat registered?  Parents can register their new or currently used car seat, ensuring that they are promptly notified about future recalls and guided through the repair process.  Here's how:

• Register online with your car manufacturer, using the information found on the information sticker on your car seat.
• Fill out the registration card that came with your car seat.  It's pre-populated with your car seat's information.  Mail the card; no postage required.

TIP: Take a photo of your car seat label and save it to your phone so you can have it handy.
