 When
you use a rear-facing child safety seat: from birth to at least 20 pounds
and at least one year of age. The harness straps should be at or
below shoulder level. For babies who are under one year and over 20
pounds, be sure they ride in a safety seat approved for heavier babies and
continue to ride rear-facing until at least one year of age.
Notable: Traffic
crashes are the number one cause and death and injury for children after
the first year of life. Each year, 1,700 children die and almost
300,000 are injured in motor vehicle crashes. Six out of ten
children killed in crashes are unrestrained.
