National Child Passenger Safety Week
This is National Child Passenger Safety Week. Make sure your child is buckled up or properly secured in a child safety seat. Kids need a booster seat until they are 8 years old or when they reach 4 ft. 9 in. tall. Until then, a regular safey belt doesn't fit them correctly. Remember, state law says kids under 17 must be buckled up. Buckle up children in the back seat-EVERY TIME, for a safe trip. Save a life by buckling up your kids in the back seat. Call 1-800-252-8255 for more information. Or visit http://www.txdot.gov/services/traffic-operations/save.htm
