Seatbelt Laws

Protecting your child from car injuries starts with buckling up. Children should be in an age-appropriate car seat or secured with a seatbelt. Seatbelt laws set forth specific requirements with regard to children and seatbelts which are based on the child's age and height. Failing to meet these requirements is illegal, and it puts your child at risk should you be involved in a car accident. Young children do sometimes become fussy after being restrained in a car seat for a long period of time. Rather than unfastening their seatbelt, take periodic rest stops so that your child has an opportunity to get out of the car and move about freely.

Tips for Traveling with Children

Focusing on the road and staying free of distractions are the keys to safe driving. Child passengers can create distractions that could lead to accidents. You can minimise potential distractions by taking a few simple steps to keep your children happy and occupied. First, pack some small toys and a few books for your child to play with in the car. Bring along some non-messy snacks, and place both the snacks and the toys within your child's reach. Children also enjoy listening to their favorite music while they're riding in the car. By making sure that your child's needs are met in advance, you can remain focused on your driving.

Importance of Safe Driving

In order to keep child passengers safe, you yourself must be a safe driver. Always obey traffic laws and follow the posted speed limit. Do not get behind the wheel if you feel that it would be unsafe for you to drive. For instance, refrain from driving if you have just taken medicine that causes drowsiness.

Safe Cars

In addition to practicing responsible driving habits, you should also keep your car in good condition. Take your vehicle in for preventative maintenance tune-ups on a regular basis. Before you set off on a trip, check that your tires are fully inflated, your fluids are at the proper levels and all of your car's lights are working.
