SIX REASONS TO BUCKLE UP!


CHILD SAFETY LAWS

Summary of child seat safety laws in California. Children:• Must be secured using either a seat belt or a federally-approved

restraint system for child passengers, depending on the age, and height of the child.

• Under the age of eight must be secured in an approved restraint system, not a seat belt.

• No child may ride in the front seat of a vehicle if they are in a rear-facing car seat, under a year old, or weigh less than 20 pounds.

• Children 8 years or older, and at least 57 inches tall may use an adult safety belt.


SIX CAR SEAT MISTAKES

1. Leaving car seat too loose

2. Not understanding the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) use

3. Not locking the shoulder belt

4. Reclining the seat at the wrong angle

5. Turning the seat too early

6. Adjusting harness and clip incorrectly* Need help with car seat installation? Contact DES or the nearest Highway Patrol Office


Pedestrian Safety

One of the best ways to stay safe as a pedestrian is to follow all pedestrian safety laws. By the same token, drivers should also understand when pedestrians have the right of way.

When pedestrians have the right of way?

1. In Marked Crosswalks

2. At Pedestrian Crossing Signals

3. When a Driver Turns on Red


Thanksgiving Safety

• Stay in the kitchen when you are cooking on the stovetop so you can keep an eye on the food.

• Stay in the home when cooking your turkey and check it frequently.

• Keep children away from the stove. The stove will be hot and kids should stay 3 feet away.

• Make sure kids stay away from hot food and liquids. The steam or splash from the food could cause serious burns.

• Keep the floor clear so you don’t trip over kids, toys or other equipment.


Thanksgiving Safety

• Be sure electric cords from an electric knife, coffee maker, plate warmer or mixer are not dangling off the counter within easy reach of a child.

• Keep matches and utility lighters out of the reach of children.

• Never leave children alone in room with a lit candle.

• Make sure your smoke alarms are working. Test them by pushing the test button.

• Keep Fire Extinguisher Nearby


Cooking Safety

• Wash food and surfaces

• Keep fire extinguisher handy

• Keep cooking area uncluttered

• Don’t cook stuffing inside turkey

• Don’t defrost turkey at room temp

• Use personal protective equipment

• Cooking temps: Poultry & stuffing - 165
