Here are some quick Safety Tips from ABC15

• Stage 1: Children 1 year and 20lbs. should ride rear facing in a vehicle. (Never place a rear-facing car seat in the front seat when there is an active frontal airbag.)

• Stage 2&3: Children between the ages of one to about age four and between 20-40 pounds should be secured in the back seat in a rear facing and or forward facing toddler seat, dependent upon the seat that you have.

• Stage 4: Booster seats are for children who have outgrown a convertible seat. Booster-weight children are between approximately 40 and 80 pounds and are usually between 4 and 8 years old. A booster seat protects a child from serious injuries caused by incorrect sate belt use. Kids between the ages of four and eight or 40-80 pounds and less than 4'9" in height, should be properly restrained in the back seat in belt positioning booster seat.

• Stage 5: Children who have outgrown booster seats should use a lap/shoulder belt. Ensure that the lap belt fits across the child's hips does not ride up across the stomach. The shoulder belt should fit across the center of the shoulder and not across the face or neck.

• Children under the age of 13 years of age should always ride in the back seat. Do you know someone who's not properly restraining their children? Call 1-800-505-BABY or check out this website.
