Are you and your child passengers properly restrained while driving? Child safety seats reduce fatal injury by 71 percent for infants and by 54 percent for toddlers (1-4 years old). 7 out of 10 kids in child safety seats are not properly buckled in. Even a sudden stop can seriously injure a child who is not riding securely in the right type of child safety seat.
Do you have the correct seat for your child? Have there been any recalls on your child's safety seat?
Please contact the Groton Fire Department at (978) 448-6333 if you have any questions or would like to have a child safety seat checked or installed.
