OHS Reminds Delaware Families to Keep Children Safe During Child Passenger Safety Week

DOVER, Del. (Sept. 21, 2026) – National Child Passenger Safety Week is taking place September 20–26, and the Delaware Office of Highway Safety (OHS) is reminding parents and caregivers to make sure children are properly restrained in the vehicle every time they travel. Properly installed and correctly used car seats, booster seats, and seat belts can help reduce the risk of serious injury or death in the event of a crash.
