12 and under always ride buckled up or in properly installed child safety seats in the back seat. And rear-facing seats should never be placed in the front seat of a motor vehicle equipped with an air bag.

Older children need extra protection, too. Many people don't realize that seat belts are designed to fit adults. They do not properly fit children. That is why we encourage parents to put children between 40 and 80 pounds (usually four to eight years old) in booster seats. A booster seat makes lap and shoulder belts fit correctly, low over the hips and upper thighs and snug over the shoulders.
