Your child can be injured in a vehicle even if you are not in a crash. Sudden braking and sharp
turns can injure your child if the child restraint is not properly installed or if your child is not
properly secured in the child restraint.
• According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seating positions.
• Children are safer riding rear-facing and should ride rear-facing as long as possible, until they
reach the maximum rear-facing height or weight rating for their car seat. Then children should
ride forward-facing, using the built-in harness system for as long as possible until they reach the
maximum forward-facing weight or height for their car seat. Be sure to check your local and state
laws, as well as AAP and NHTSA recommendations, for car seat usage.
