MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Make sure you’re properly installing your child car seats.
This is Child Passenger Safety week, a reminder that a properly fitted child car seat can save lives. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends kids younger than two years old be secured in a rear-facing car seat in the back seat. Kids age two to four can switch to a forward-facing car seat with a harness in the back seat until they reach age four and forty pounds.
Kids should be sitting in the back seat until they turn thirteen.
More information on Wisconsin’s car seat laws can be found on the state Department of Transportation website.
