Make sure car seats are installed correctly and you’re following the safest guidelines to protect your child.
The laws and guidelines about child safety seats change as researchers learn more about the best ways to protect our children while driving. Here are some ways we can help keep our children seat while in a car:

And while using that booster seat long after you feel it's necessary might seem like a pain, it's worth knowing you're taking the right precautions. Learn more about car seats, safe driving with children and more at the Parents Central Child Car Safety resource site from safercar.gov.

Here's how to find a car seat inspection location.
