This is not an emergency notification system, this is only to report suspicious activity in your area. Please call 911 if you have an emergency.

Please know that wearing a seat belt or using a child safety restraint system is the law.  This guide will explain to you what you need to know to make sure that you are in compliance. By working together, we can help keep kids safe when riding in motor vehicles.  

TO HELP PREVENT DEATHS AND SERIOUS INJURY THE NATIONAL SAFETY BELT COALITION SHARES THE FOLLOWING:  

Does your child ride in the back seat? The back seat is generally the safest place in a crash. If your vehicle has a passenger air bag, it is essential for children 12 and under to ride in back.

Does your child ride facing the right way? Infants should ride in rear facing restraints (in the back seat) until age 1 and at least 20-22 lbs. Infants who weigh 20 lbs. before 1 year of age should ride in a restraint approved for higher rear facing weights. Always read your child restraint manual for instructions on properly using the restraint. Children over age one and at least 20 pounds may ride facing forward.

Does the safety belt hold the seat tightly in place? Put the belt through the correct slots. If your safety seat can be used facing either way, use the correct belt path for each direction. Check the vehicle owner's manual and safety seat instruction book for guidance.

Is the harness buckled snugly around your child? Keep harness straps snug over the child's shoulders. Place the chest clip at armpit level.

Does your child over 40 pounds have the best protection possible? Keep your child in a safety seat with a full harness as long as possible, at least until 40 pounds. Then use a belt-positioning booster seat which helps the adult lap and shoulder belt fit better. A belt-positioning booster seat is preferred for children between 40-80 pounds. It is used with the adult lap and shoulder belt.

How should a safety belt fit an older child? The child should be tall enough to sit without slouching, with knees bent at the edge of the seat, with feet on the floor. The lap belt must fit low and tight across the upper thighs. The shoulder belt should rest over the shoulder and across the chest. Never put the shoulder belt under the arm or behind the child's back. The adult lap and shoulder belt system alone will not fit most children until they are at least 4'9" tall and weigh about 80 pounds.

REMEMBER!

A child restraint safety system means any device which meets the standards of the U.S. Department of Transportation that is designed to restrain, seat or position a child. This also includes booster seats.

Children ages 12 and under should ride in the back seat using the appropriate child restraint system.   Deployment of an airbag can cause serious harm or death to someone under the age of 12 that is riding in the front seat.

 If a child weighs more than 40 pounds they be transported in the back seat of a motor vehicle wearing only a lap belt if the back seat of said vehicle is not equipped with a combination lap/shoulder belt.

Infants should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle. Air bag deployment can cause serious harm or death. Infants should ride in a rear facing child safety seat that is correctly installed in the back.
