NHTSA is sponsoring Child Passenger Safety Week from September 15-21.

Sept. 4, 2019—To keep children safe on roads, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is sponsoring Child Passenger Safety Week.

Child Passenger Safety Week will take place the week of September 15. 

The goal is to make sure your child is in the correct car seat, that it’s properly installed and used, and that it’s registered with its manufacturer to ensure you receive important safety updates.

When installed correctly, car seats can reduce the risk of fatal injury in a crash by 71 percent for infants and by 54 percent for toddlers. 

Vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death for children. From 2013 to 2017, there were 3,313 children under 13 killed while riding in passenger vehicles. But, about 37 percent of those children killed in 2017 were not buckled at all.
