Four Steps for Child Passenger Safety:

1. Rear-facing infant seats in the back seat from birth to one year old and at least 20 pounds.

2. Forward-facing toddler seats in the back seat from age one to about age four and 20-40 pounds.

3. Booster seats in the back seat from about age four and 40 pounds to at least age eight and 4’9”

4. Never place a child passenger safety seat in front of an air bag.

Seat Belts were designed for adults. Children should not be in a seat belt until they are 4’9”. Their back should fit against the back of the seat and their knees should bend at the end of the seat with their feet touching the floor. Until they are able to do this, they should be in a booster seat which allows the safety belt to fit them properly.
