Is your child restraint system being used correctly?

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

For more information about child safety seats, please contact a Public Health Educator at (435) 277-2460.
