Make sure everyone buckles up, every Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother, Aunt and Uncle -- Everybody!

The safest place for kids of all ages is properly buckled up in the back seat.
Make sure that your child or infant seat is installed correctly.
Buckling up is the law, and the law keeps us safe.
Whether you're going near or far, always buckle your safety belt.

Not only do safety seats need to be installed and used properly, but they need to be appropriate for the child's age and size. In addition to urging parents and caregivers to have their safety seats checked by a certified technician, the KHP offers the following suggestions:

Use a rear-facing child safety seat for babies from birth to 20 pounds AND one year of age. Harness straps should be at or below shoulder level while facing the rear.

Use a forward-facing seat for children at least 20 pounds and at least one year old, to children weighing 40 pounds and around the age of four. The harness straps should be at or above shoulder level while facing forward.

Booster seats are for children 40-80 pounds, less than four feet, nine inches tall. Never use a booster seat with only a lap belt.

A child can be moved out of the booster seat and into the regular backseat if the child can sit with his or her back against the vehicle seat cushion and bend the knees over the seat's edge without slouching.

Never place a child (with or without a safety seat) in the front seat of a vehicle equipped with an airbag. All children 12 and under should sit properly restrained in the backseat.

According to the Kansas Child Death Review Board's recently released data for 2001, motor vehicle crashes continue to be the leading cause of unintentional injury deaths for Kansas children. In 2001, 76 percent of children killed in crashes were either not using safety restraints or they were not using them properly. Proper restraints significantly increase infants and children's likelihood of surviving crashes.
