EVERYONE rides buckled up or the vehicle DOES NOT GO! Make NO EX-
CEPTIONS for adults or children!
- If someone unbuckles, the vehicle STOPS! Being firm and consistent will
result in fewer discipline problems as children grow older. An unrestrained
person can be thrown into and injure other passengers.
- NEVER try to tend to a crying child's needs while driving. Never take a child
out of a child restraint for comforting while the vehicle is moving.
DO NOT allow child to slide down under lap belt or put shoulder belt under
arm or behind back.
DO NOT allow a child to have lollipops, popsicles, or other food on a stick.
The item can injure the child in a sudden stop or crash.
DO NOT put heavy or sharp items in the trunk. Loose items can be deadly
in a crash.
If you need to use a blanket in cold weather, put the child in the restraint
and cover both with the blanket.
