Passengers Safety
Child safety seat
Take your time choosing a child safety seat. Shop around. There are lots to choose from. Think long term. Remember that you may need to buy all 3 types of seats (infant only, convertible and booster) as your child grows up.
If possible, install the child safety seat in your vehicle before buying it to make sure that if fits well in your vehicle. Cars with small rear seats or bucket seats may present special problems. Practice buckling the seat tightly into your car before your child’s first ride. It is very important that you choose a child safety seat that is easy for you to use and that it will be used correctly every time your child rides.
