While child passenger safety is important year-round, Child Passenger Safety Week (September 15-21) is a good time to triple-check that your child's car seat or booster seat is properly installed according to manufacturer instructions and that seat belts are being properly used.

Keep children under 13 in the back seat. Riding in the front seat is not safe for kids. Airbags in the front seat are designed for adult passengers. All children under 13 should be buckled in the correct seat — always in the back seat. Never place a car seat in the front seat!

Don’t rush to the next seat. Moving children to the next type of car seat before they’re ready leaves them vulnerable in a crash. Keep your kids in the right seat as long as possible for their age and size.

As of Monday, Sept. 16, 95 lives have been lost in 87 crashes on #NH roads so far in 2024. This marks a 4% increase in crash deaths compared to this time in 2023. Speed, impairment, and distraction remain among the leading causes of crashes in #NH - and they are ALL preventable!

Car crashes are a leading cause of death for children. Even if it's a short trip, don't skip: ensure they're buckled up properly in a seat that's right for them.

Booster seats are a necessary step between car seats and seat belts. If a booster seat is the right seat for a child’s age and size, then that is the safest way for them to be protected in a crash.

Approximately half of all car seats are not correctly installed. We urge parents and caregivers to make sure their children are in the right seats, and that those seats are properly installed. “Good enough” may not be good enough in a crash.

In the past 24 hours, four people have been killed in crashes in several New Hampshire communities. #NHSP reminds everyone to comply with speed limits and never drive distracted or impaired. Troopers remain committed to improving road safety through enforcement and education.
