Description:KEEP YOURSELF AND YOUR CHILDREN SAFE:
• Use a car seat, booster seat, or seat belt on every trip, no matter how short.
• Find the right car seat or booster seat for your child’s weight, height, and age. See the chart on the next page for tips.
• Get help installing a car seat or booster seat from a certified child passenger safety technician.
• Properly buckle children aged 12 years and under in the back seat. The back seat is safest for children.
• Never place a rear-facing car seat in the front seat. Front passenger air bags can injure or kill small children.
• Do not use traditional baby carriers (such as cradleboards) instead of car seats. Traditional carriers do not keep children safe in cars or trucks in a crash.
• Always wear a seat belt when pregnant. Be sure to wear the lap belt below your belly. Place the shoulder belt across your chest. Never wear the belt behind your back, under your arm, or across your stomach.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control and the Indian Health Service’s Injury Prevention Program work in partnership with American Indian and Alaska Native communities to implement proven programs.
