A Boerne car crash led to the death of a child who police say was not properly restrained. Here’s how to make sure your child is safe in their seat.
, people can type in their child’s date of birth, height and weight to help determine the right car seat for their kid. The site also emphasizes the importance of reading the car seat manufacturer’s instructions to ensure kids are in seats made for their height and weight.
They won’t be ready to graduate to the vehicle’s ,seat belt until they’re 8 years old and maybe not even until they’re 12, according to agency guidelines. Once kids are big enough for seat belts, the NHTSA says the lap belt should be across the upper thighs — not the stomach — and the shoulder belt should be going across the shoulder and chest — not the neck or face.
In addition, kids should remain in the back seat at least until they’re 12 since it’s safer, the agency says.
