Welcome to Child Passenger Safety Week 2012.

This year’s theme is “Put them in the Right Seat, at the Right Time, and use it the Right Way!”.  The theme aims at making sure all parents and caregivers are properly securing their children from birth through age 12 in the right car restraint (rear-facing, forward-facing, booster, seat belt) for their age and size. Although parents may try hard to safely restrain their children, nationally, three out of four kids are not as secure in the car as they should be because their car seats are not being used correctly (NHTSA). 

The PA Traffic Injury Prevention Project and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation are committed to working closely with our partners and safety advocates to reach the goal of educating parents and caregivers about best practice recommendations for the correct selection and use of car seats, booster seats and seat belts when traveling with children.
