Child Passenger Car Safety Tips:

1. Always inspect behind and beside the car before backing out, even if little Johnny is buckled in, his friend may be back there to see him off.
2. If you have a removable baby seat , check on top and behind the car before leaving...also, double check to see to it the baby seat is buckled in.
3. Never allow a child under 12 in the front seat (your laws may be different) because of possible injury from air bags.
4. When using Child Car Safety Seats, be familiar with the laws in your area and with all manufacturer's recommendations. Used wrongly, these things can be more harmful than not using them.
5. Never allow breakable glass items, sharp objects or flammable materials in the passenger area of the car.
6. Secure all heavy items with cargo nets or straps so they won't fly around in an accident.
7. Make sure your car is equipped with driver-controlled windows and door locks so children can't open them even if they want to.
8. No matter how much fun it is, never allow children to stick anything out the window while the car is moving.
9. Never leave children unattended in the car, particularly in the sun. They can be killed by the heat, abducted by a pedophile or car jacker, accidentally release the brakes or can get out and be run over in the parking lot.
10. Feel under seats and handles...anywhere a child can get to...for sharp objects or staples, etc. and fix anything you find.
11. Never leave a gun, knife or other weapon under the seat or in the glove box or anywhere else a child may be able to get to.
12. If your car came with an electric lighter, remove it.
