Child Passenger Safety

Motor vehicle crashes are one of the leading causes of unintentional death in children over one year of age. Safe Kids Buckle Up is a committee focused on preventing unintentional injury and deaths to children in and around cars through education on child passenger safety best practices.

BUCKLING UP YOUR KIDS ONE STAGE AT A TIME

Safe Kids Denver Metro asks that you be a good role model by doing the following:

• Be a consistent role model. Buckle up on every trip, every time, and make sure that your kids do too! 
• Safety is non-negotiable. If your child refuses to buckle up, don't start the trip until she puts on her seat belt. If she unbuckles while you're driving, find a safe place to pull over until she buckles up again.
• Since half of all crashes happen 5 to 10 minutes from home, you need to use seat belts every time you travel in a vehicle.
