Teach children to ride buckled up in the back seat

The back seat is the safest place in the car. The front seat has to be moved as far back as possible if there is a need for an older child to ride in the front.

To secure the head from contact with a quickly inflating airbag, use a child restraint with a complete harness system or a properly fitted vehicle shoulder/lap belt.

Passengers who are not secured with a seat belt or sit too close to airbags can suffer serious injuries, even in minor collisions.
