Misuse of child safety seats is
estimated to be as high as 95%.
Every year over 800 children ages
0-9 are killed or injured on San
Bernardino County roads. Most of
these were not properly buckled
up in a child safety restraint.

Check-up stations are held each
month at different locations in
the county to provide parents
with hands on instruction in the
vehicle on the proper installation
of car seats.
