Happy National Seat Check Saturday! The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) promotes the fourth Saturday in September as Seat Check Saturday.
With one child under the age of thirteen injured in an automobile accident every thirty-three seconds, the NHTSA hopes everyone will spread the news.
The proper use of child safety seats is the leading preventative measure parents and childcare providers can implement to avoid injury and death in young children.
Take a little time to learn the laws of your state’s DOT website about age, height and weight restrictions for children in safety or booster seats.
Be sure to look over the information on NHTSA.gov/TheRightSeat for additional help choosing and installing these safety seats.
Use #NationalSeatCheckSaturday on social media to spread the news about this national day to your family and friends with little ones.
HISTORY
National Day Calendar® continues to research when National Car Seat Saturday began.
However, over the years, the observance has grown. Many state and local agencies participate annually to maintain safety and awareness.
While the observance is usually the fourth Saturday in September, it occasionally lands on the third Saturday.
If you are a parent, how can you make sure that your child's seat is safe today?
