Automobiles and Kid Safety

The safety of your children is of course especially important to you. You would never knowingly do anything to harm them. But there are times when people are trying to be safe but are still accidentally putting children at risk due to lack of knowledge about whether something is safe or not. Let us go over car safety and how kids can be kept safe.

Car Seats

First, every child should have a car seat. This is needed from infants until a child is at least 12 years old or tall and big enough that the seat belt can fit them properly. A seat belt should lie across the upper thighs and shoulder in a snug manner. Seat belts do not go across the chest and stomach. In addition, children should always ride in the back until they are adult size because it is safer.

There are two basic types of car seats:

* Infant seats - These are for children who are under 12 months of age and are rear facing. You can buy seats which are only for infants or that adjust for older children. However, keeping them in a rear facing position is the safest. Do this if you can find a seat that is appropriate for their height and weight. 

Be sure to post the limits of your car seat somewhere prominent so that you do not forget. Note: If your baby is premature, there are special seats for them called car beds.

* Toddler seats - These are sometimes called booster car seats. They should only be used for toddlers who have reached at least 30 lbs. (check your model's instructions). Once
