One of the basics of
correct car seat installation, in addition to buckling the car seat tightly into your vehicle, is that your child is «buckled snugly» into the car seat itself.
Current law states that all children travelling in a car must use
the correct car seat until the age of 12 or they reach 135 cm tall.
Using
the correct car seat for your child is essential when driving.
Car seat safety is something that should be high on all parents priority list and ensuring that your child is in
the correct car seat according to their height and weight rather than age.
WASHINGTON — As Child Passenger Safety Week (Sept. 18 - 24) kicks off, the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) is urging the public to make sure children are properly buckled up in
the correct car seat for their size and age.
