Transportation Department Launches Social Media Campaign to Spread Word About Child Safety Seats
Effort Coincides with Child Passenger Safety Week
This year Child Passenger Safety Week will be observed from September 12-18, beginning with National Seat Check Saturday on September 12. The week brings public attention to the importance of properly securing all children in appropriate child safety seats, booster seats, or seat belts – on every trip, every time. NHTSA is launching a social media campaign aimed at educating parents and caregivers about child passenger safety. The campaign includes a presence on Facebook, a Twitter account, as well as a "super widget" that directs users to child safety seat inspection stations.
