Child Passenger Safety
Using a child safety seat may seem easy enough, but according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 3 out of 4 parents do not properly install child seats.
AAA School Safety Patrol
The AAA School Safety Patrol program instills students with a sense of responsibility and leadership as they help create a safer pedestrian environment for their fellow classmates.
Effective November 1, 2019, the law states that all children under the age of 2 must use a rear-facing car seat. There are 3 types of rear-facing car seats: Infant Seats, Convertible Seats, and All-in-One Seats.
It is recommended that infants and toddlers ride in a rear-facing seat until they reach the weight or height limit of the seat. Most children will outgrow a rear-facing infant seat before reaching their 2nd birthday. If the child has outgrown an infant seat, it is recommended that a larger, rear-facing Convertible or All-in-One car seat with higher rear-facing height and weight limits be used. These seats should be installed in the rear-facing position until the child reaches the rear-facing weight or height limit set by the car seat manufacturer.
