Product Registration
There are many products that are required by law to provide a registration card with purchase. If you find a card upon opening a product, such as a car or booster seat, you should register your product immediately. This will ensure that you are informed about recalls and other important safety information that may save your children from potentially hazardous situations.
Car Seat Essentials
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, car crashes are the number one killer of children aged 1 to 12 years old in the United State. The best way to keep young children safe while driving is to not only utilize a car or booster seat, but first you should be sure to purchase the correct type and install it in the proper manner. While there are many options out there, you should base your decision on your child’s age, weight and height. If your child is older and meets the height requirement to no longer use a booster, he or she should wear a seat belt at all times; keeping them in the back seat until they are at least 12 years of age.
