National Child Passenger Safety Week is September 19-25
The 2010 Child Passenger Safety Week brings public attention to the importance of properly securing all children in appropriate child safety seats, booster seats or seat belts - every trip, every time. The campaign concludes with "National Seat Check Saturday," when certified child passenger safety technicians will provide advice and hands-on child safety seat inspections nationwide for free.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), nearly 3 out of 4 child safety seats are not used properly, which is a grave risk when traveling. For a child safety seat to do its job right, it has to be:
Appropriate for your child's age and size
Installed properly in your vehicle
Adjusted to fit your child securely
