LFD Encourages Child Safety Seat Use

DID YOU KNOW?
The Major Injury Risk Areas for Children ages 14 and under are:
1. Motor vehicle injury--motor vehicle occupant, pedestrian, bicyclist;
2. Fire and burns;
3. Drowning and near-drowning;
4. Poisonings and choking;
5. Unintentional firearm shootings; and
6. Falls.
The use of Child Safety Seats for children is essential to their safety and to survival in a collision. Child Safety Seats are also a part of your vehicle's safety system and can prevent serious injury when installed and utilized properly.
A small investment of $30 to $50 for a Child Safety Seat and you can save a child’s life and protect the most precious cargo that you will carry in your vehicle.
If you have questions about how to install your Child Safety Seat, PLEASE contact the Louisville Fire Department and we can assist you and help you understand how to properly install your Child Safety Seat.
