Nearly all of these children were either unrestrained or improperly restrained. Seat belts provide the greatest protection against ejection from a vehicle during a crash. Three quarters of the occupants who are totally ejected from passenger vehicles during fatal crashes are killed. Never put a rear-facing infant or convertible seat in the front passenger seat of a vehicle with a passenger side air bag. Read your child safety seat instruction manual and your motor vehicle owner's manual for directions on proper installation.
Some vehicles require supplemental attachment hardware to ensure proper fit of child safety seats.
