National Child Passenger Safety Awareness Week is September 20-26th, 2020! Now is a great time to check that your car seats are properly installed in your car!
Every 33 seconds a child under the age of 13 is involved in a car crash. 33 seconds! With the correct use of car seats, boosters, seat belts those accidents can lead to less injuries & deaths.
Luckily we have evolved from the ways of our parents & grandparents & now have stricter car seat laws. In Nebraska, children 2 & under must be rear-facing & all children under the age of 8 must ride correctly secured in an approved child safety seat. It's not enough to just have your child in a car seat or booster but to make sure it is properly installed & your child is properly buckled in!
If you're involved in a car accident, whether your kids or in the vehicle or not, it is best & highly advised to replace your car seats. Even if they don't look like they have been damaged they could be compromised & be less reliable about keeping your child safe!
