Nothing is more important than your little one's safety. Child Care Aware of Virginia urges parents to never leave their child unattended in a car, to double-check the back seat before exiting the vehicle, lock it up, and keep your keys away from curious hands. Even the most careful guardians can unknowingly put a child in danger, so it's critical to establish a solid routine to remind yourself that precious cargo is with you, especially during hectic times and disruptions to your usual schedule.
Car seat safety is one of the most important aspects of keeping your child safe while on the road. Car accidents are a major cause of child fatalities in the United States. Using child car safety seats correctly reduces the risk of fatal injury by 71% for infants and 54% for toddlers (National Safety Council). Unfortunately, 95% of car seats in the U.S. are installed incorrectly (Journal of Pediatrics).
Remember, car seats are only effective if they are used correctly. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and make sure your child is securely fastened in the seat every time you travel in a car. It is important to regularly check your child’s car seat for any signs of wear and tear and to replace it if necessary. By following these guidelines and keeping your child properly secured in their car seat, you can help to ensure their safety while on the road.
