Child Passenger Safety 101

All drivers must ensure all children are secured in an age-and weight-appropriate child car seat until their 9th birthday unless they have reached the height of 145 cm (4’9”) tall.

Child car seats save lives!  Ensure your loved one is as safe as possible in your vehicle. A correctly installed and used child car seat can reduce the risk of injury and death.

Just as children grow and change, their needs relating to protection in the vehicle also change. There are four different stages of protection:

Protect your child in the vehicle!  Follow these four simple rules to help you ensure your child’s safety:

  • Make sure your infant or child is restrained on every trip – even short ones.
  • Put your child in the back seat – in most cases, that’s the safest position in the vehicle.
  • Use the appropriate child car seat for your young one’s age, weight and size. Buy your child car seat or booster seat in Canada. Seats bought in other countries are not legal for use in Canada.
  • Ensure that you install and use the child car seat correctly.
