As a driver, you should make sure you are responsible for child passenger safety while driving.

There are some Child Safety Seat Tips for drivers. Learn the safety requirements and basic facts for proper use of child safety seats.

It is important to know that your child passenger safety devices are working properly at all times. All children of age 12 and below should be buckled up in the rear seat of the vehicle. Children of age 8 should ride in an appropriate child safety seat, unless they are 4 feet 9 inches tall and weigh 80 pounds.

Make sure not place a single seat belt over yourself and a child. The child could be crushed by your body if a front-end collision occurs.

A seat belt must be adjusted properly to the size of a child. As with adults, the lap belt should cross the child's upper thighs and the diagonal belt should cross the upper chest and a point between the neck and the center of the shoulder.

Children should continue to use a belt-positioning booster until the lap and shoulder belts fit properly. The child's legs are long enough to bend at the edge of the seat.

If you have had a car accident, motorcycle injury, workers compensation claim, wrongful termination, slip and fall accident, personal injury, an injury compensation claim, workplace accident, an accident injury claim, or any other legal problem, 1-800-THE-LAW2 (1-800-843-4292) can help you.
