Why Seat Belts are Important for Kids to Wear

This January, make a New Year's resolution that could save your child's life: select, and learn to use, the correct child safety seat every time a child travels in a vehicle. Properly used child safety seats reduce the risk of injury by 71 percent for rear-facing infants and 54 percent for forward-facing toddlers.

Car Seat Belts will Save Your Childs Life

Nearly 1,800 kids under 15 died in crashes in 2004, and another 227,000 were injured clearly explains why seat belts are important to wear. Child safety seats, properly installed and adjusted, can prevent an estimated 182,000 serious injuries every year. The best way to keep your child from becoming a statistic is to use an appropriate child safety seat or booster seat for every trip.

Make sure you know how to adjust it, too — the vast majority of child safety seats and particularly infant car seats (about 82 percent) are used incorrectly. In a crash, children restrained incorrectly are 3.5 times more likely to be seriously injured than children in appropriate restraints. Half of the children killed in motor vehicle crashes in 2004 were not restrained at all. This answers the question of why seat belts are important to wear very clearly.

Infant Car Seats

Relative to infant car seats, babies must ride in a rear-facing infant car seats or convertible (infant/toddler) seat until they are at least a year old and at least 20 pounds; preferably, babies should ride in rear-facing infant car seats until they reach weight or height limit as specified by the manufacturer. (In Sweden, the law requires babies and toddlers to ride in rear-facing seats up to 4 years of age.) Toddlers must ride in a forward-facing child safety seat until they weigh at least 40 pounds, and bigger kids need child passenger safety booster car seats until they are about 8 years old and about 5 feet tall. The following videos are all about installing infant car seats and will help you learn how to properly BUCKLE "UM" UP!

While it is important to understand why seat belts are important to wear, PLEASE understand that adult safety belts don't work on kids, and FOUR OUT OF FIVE KIDS who should be riding in a booster seat are not doing so! The passenger has to be tall enough to sit all the way back in the seat and have the shoulder belt cross the shoulder, not the neck — and if the shoulder belt doesn't fit right, a child is more likely to tuck it under an arm, which defeats its purpose. Most children ages 4 to 8 need child passenger safety booster car seats.

Once you select the right child passenger restraint and learn to use it, the other vital part of your New Year's resolution is to use infant car seats and/or child passenger safety booster car seats every time, even on short trips. Three out of four crashes occur within 25 miles of home — and 60 percent happen on low-speed roads, not highways.

Finally, learn why infant car seats and belts are important to wear, make sure you have child passenger safety booster car seats for your older children to buckle up and just as importantly, set a good example for all your childern by buckling up yourself!
