Save your child with a safety seat.

Correctly installed child safety seats save lives. They offer the best protection for children in the event of a crash. Research shows that safety seats in passenger cars reduce the risk of fatal injury by 71 percent for infants and by 54 percent for toddlers.


Texas requires that everyone riding in a vehicle is buckled up, and children younger than 8 (unless they're taller than 4 feet 9 inches) must be secured in a child safety seat or booster seat.


Most parents believe their children are properly buckled up, but according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, two out of three safety seats are not used correctly.
