Child Passenger Safety – Forming A Habit That Just Makes Sense


I have a little girl and she is my “everything!” I would do anything to protect her from harm. As she grows, it is my job to help her form habits she can use to protect herself.

From the time she was a baby I always used the proper child safety seat to make sure she was properly restrained in my car. And, as she grew, I adjusted and changed the safety seat to match her height and weight.

You can learn more about the proper safety seat for your child by accessing this link.

Now, my daughter no longer needs a booster seat, but she understands how important it is to buckle her seat belt. Every time we get into the car, I say, “buckle” before we head out. She does so with ease, and truthfully, without even thinking about it. It’s just a habit now and a really good one.

I hope we’re not involved in a crash. But, I’m glad to know the seat belt is being worn just in case we are. Wearing a seat belt is so easy to do and can save your life or the life of someone you love. It just makes sense. Like I said, she is my “everything” and she is worth it.

If you have questions or comments about child passenger safety or the requirements in Missouri, please let me know.


Child Passenger Safety Week is coming up Sept. 12 – 19 to help raise awareness about the importance of making sure kids are properly restrained in vehicles when traveling. Visit www.savemolives.com to learn about child seat check events in your area.
