Summer Safety Tips for Kids

More than 40 percent of the deaths of children in automobile accidents occur during the summer.  Simple precautions can save lives.  The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends that all kids under age 12 ride in the back seat and that proper child restraints are used.  Front seat airbags present a significant danger to children and allowing them to ride in the cargo area of an SUV, station wagon, van or pickup truck is extremely hazardous.
