Proper use of safety seats is key to protecting children.
Nova Scotia RCMP reminds drivers of the importance of following the rules when travelling with children.
Cst. Mark Skinner says it is important that parents understand when and how to use these devices.
A properly installed car seat reduces the risk of injury by 70%.
However, there is a lot of misinformation out there.
For example, few people are aware children must ride in a booster seat until they’re 9-years-old or 4 feet, 9 inches.
