    Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause death of children, ages 3-14.

    Why?

    In many cases, children are not properly buckled into their child safety seats. Additionally, some parents don’t realize that a booster seat is vital to ensuring children fit safely in their vehicle’s seat belt.
