Child Passenger Safety
More children die in motor vehicle crashes than from all childhood diseases combined. Each year, approximately 110 passengers under the age of 11 are killed or severely injured in motor vehicle crashes in Minnesota. Over 1,800 passengers under the age of 11 receive minor to moderate injuries. Seventy percent of fatalities and severe injuries could be prevented with the proper use of a child restraint, and fifty percent could be prevented with proper safety belt use.
Buckle Up Kids! is a comprehensive guide on how to properly secure children in vehicles. This booklet should answer most every question that a caregiver may have on choosing the appropriate child restraint system and how to properly install them.
When can kids use seat belts? Six steps to seat belt safety. Experts strongly recommend that kids between the ages of 4 to 8, who weigh 40-80 pounds and are under 4’9” use a belt-positioning booster seat with a lap/ shoulder seat belt. A booster seat raises the child’s seated height which allows the belt system to comfortably and safely rest across their body. Use these six steps to determining if it is okay to move your child out of a child safety seat.
