We all want our children to travel safely in cars. Installing a car seat for younger children and babies can be a challenge. Estimates say eight out of 10 child car seats are improperly installed.

Young children who are correctly restrained in child safety seats have an 80 percent lower risk of fatal injury in the event of a motor vehicle crash than those who are unrestrained.
