Child Passenger Safety
Car crashes are a leading cause of death for children 1 to 13 years old. Many deaths and injuries can be 
prevented by proper use of car seats, boosters, and seat belts. Making sure your child is in the right seat,
and that the seat is properly installed can prevent death and injuries.
Common Examples of Misuse Increasing the Risk of Injury to Child Passenger
• Rear-Facing Car Seat
• Incorrect amount of recline in child’s car seat: Child is less than a year old and the car seat is not installed at the correct angle for the rear-facing position.
• Forward-Facing Car Seat
• Loose car seat installation: Car seat can be moved front to back or side to side by more than one inch when pushed or pulled at the belt path.
• Booster Seat
• Improper lap belt position: Lap belt is placed across the child’s abdomen/ribcage, instead of across the hips or upper thighs.
