 Did you know that as many as 85% of child safety seats are defective or incorrectly installed? Is your family riding safe?
Through education, training, enforcement, outreach and legislation, the Prince William Community Safe Kids Coalition seeks to ensure that all children, from birth to age 16 are properly restrained in the correct restraint system every time they travel in a motor vehicle. Child restraint devices must be properly used and meet standards adopted by the United States Department of Transportation.
