*EVERYONE rides buckled up or the vehicle DOES NOT GO! Make NO EXCEPTIONS for adults or children!
-If someone unbuckles, the vehicle STOPS! Being firm and consistent will result in fewer discipline problems as children grow older. An unrestrained person can be thrown into and injure other passengers.
-NEVER try to tend to a crying child’s needs while driving. Never take a child out of a child restraint for comforting while the vehicle is moving.
*Put heavy or sharp items in the trunk. Loose items can be deadly in a crash.
*If you need to use a blanket in cold weather, put the child in the restraint and cover both with the blanket.
