Car seats

Car crashes kill more children than any other injury, but when children use car seats, they are well protected and less likely to be severely injured. Parents and caregivers can choose the right car seat or booster seat for their child and make sure it is used for every single ride. Parents are welcome to contact our Safe Tip Line with questions that are not answered on the page.

TIP #2 

Before installing a new car seat, it’s very helpful to sit down with the car seat manual and the vehicle manual and read through both carefully. This can help to avoid frustrations.
