How Do You Shop For A Safe Car For Child Passengers?
These guidelines follow the recommendations of AAA and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Look for a car with a safety belt for each child you will be transporting. Check that the type of restraint system provided is adequate for the ages and sizes of your children. Make sure the car’s lap- or shoulder-belt systems can accommodate your children if they have outgrown car seats. Consider the compatibility of a car seat with the car in question. Read the owner’s manual regarding proper use of seat belts. Consider buying cars with safety locks and override window controls.
