Properly securing your child in their car seat can reduce risk of fatal injury in a crash by 71% for infants and by 54% for toddlers, according to the NHTSA.
TEXAS — Vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death for children in the nation, according to the Texas Department of Transportation.
TxDOT kicked off its “Save me with a seat” campaign in September to coincide with National Child Passenger Safety Week from Sept. 21-24. Parents are invited to schedule a free car seat safety check online to find the nearest TxDOT traffic safety specialist in the area. These safety checks are available year-round.
TxDOT also offers virtual car seat checks that have the same level of education and service for families while social distancing.
