This week is National Child Passenger Safety Week. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 3 out of 4 parents don't properly restrain their child in the car.
Does your child fight you when you try to put him in his car seat or ask you why he has to be in it? Read this post...it might help put it all into perspective.
The NHTSA is sponsoring a free car seat inspection day this Saturday Sept 25. to find a location near you click here: http://www.nhtsa.gov/cps/cpsfitting/index.cfm
