Many children aged 4 to 9 use an improperly fitting seat belt when they ride in cars
Size-appropriate child restraint systems such as car seats and booster seats are often not used
Shoulder belts should fit across the middle of a child's shoulder, not touching the neck - Lap belts should lie flat on top of the thighs, not higher up on the abdomen
