They can lower your risk of injury by 45%. You are four times more likely to be seriously injured or killed if ejected from the vehicle in a crash.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remember: One Person \u2013 One Belt <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Everybody needs a child safety seat, booster seat, or safety belt!<\/li>\n<li>There must be one safety belt for each person. Buckling two people, even children, into one belt could injure both.<\/li>\n<li>Everyone needs to be buckled up properly. That means older kids in seat belts, younger kids in <a id=\"GVLINK_2_0_1\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.aupairinamerica.com\/phs\/wp-admin\/#\">booster seats<\/a> and little kids in child safety seats.<\/li>\n<li>The back seat is the safest place in a crash. Children age 12 and under should ride properly restrained in back. <strong>Infants riding rear-facing must NEVER be placed in front of an airbag.<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>People who are not buckled up can be thrown from the car or around inside the car, and seriously hurt themselves or others.<\/li>\n<li>Never hold a child on your lap! You could crush him\/her in a crash, or the child may be torn from your arms.<\/li>\n<li>Never ride in the cargo area of a station wagon, van, or pickup! Anyone riding in the cargo area could be thrown out and severely injured or killed.<\/li>\n<li>No one seat is \u2018best\u2019, The \u2018best\u2019 child safety seat is the one that fits your child and can be installed correctly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">CHOOSING AND USING THE CORRECT SEAT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"130\" valign=\"top\">AGE:<\/td>\n<td width=\"600\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Birth to 1 year<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">WEIGHT:<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">Up to 35 pounds<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">TYPE OF SEAT:<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">Infant-only or Rear-facing <a id=\"GVLINK_3_0_2\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.aupairinamerica.com\/phs\/wp-admin\/#\">Convertible<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">DIRECTION TO FACE:<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">Infants should ride rear-facing to at least 1 year of age AND at least 20 pounds, longer if possible.
