Healthy Habits: More on Car Seat Safety


With the holiday season, families across the country are in the car and on the go. Whether you're driving across the country to visit family or across town to holiday shop, it's important that child passengers are riding safely and safety seats are used correctly. After all, a great deal of car accidents happen within 5 miles of home, so you don't need to be on a long trip to be at risk of a car accident.

AAA estimated that 30 million people traveled this Thanksgiving holiday alone, and for many this is just the beginning of the holiday hustle and bustle. Now is a great time to use the Child Car Safety tools provided by the US Department of Transportation;s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Ad Council to learn more about proper car seat use and installation. At the site, you can find informative resources that include instructional videos.

Have child passenger safety questions that you need answered before you travel over the river and through the woods to Grandma's? NHTSA is always available to answer your questions online through Facebook and Twitter.
