Protecting Your Children the Right Way | Toledo, Ohio Child Accident Lawyer

Although 96 percent of parents who use child safety seats, booster seats and safety belts to protect their children think they are doing it correctly, check ups continually show that 4 out of 5 unintentionally make mistakes that could result in their child being injured or killed in a crash. 

The National Transportation Safety Board has called upon automakers and others to establish permanent child safety seat fitting stations so that every parent may have every opportunity to be sure that every child is riding safely in every vehicle.  To find a child safety seat fitting station in your area visit www.seatcheck.org  or call 1-866-SEAT CHECK.

The National Transportation Safety Board has also called upon the 50 States to enact laws to require that all children up to 8 years old use child restraint systems and booster seats and that all children age 12 and younger ride in the rear seat.

Today, all 50 States and the District of Columbia have child restraint laws.  However, only 29 States, DC and three territories require children up to 8 years old to use child restraint systems and boosters seats as recommended.
