It’s not always easy to know how to correctly secure children in car seats in all types of vehicles. Three out of four parents in Delaware do not install their child’s car seat properly. So one week each year, Delaware and the rest of the nation celebrate National Child Passenger Safety Awareness Week. This special week, September 15th – 21st, is dedicated to promoting the correct and consistent use of child safety seats. Children using incorrectly installed car seats face dramatically increased rates of death and injury in the event of a crash.
