For children under four years of age, the proper use of auto restraint seats is literally a lifesaver. Car seats for young children are among the most effective lifesaving measures possible, according to a study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association.

Note this chilling fact: If a car traveling 30 miles an hour (48 km/​hr) is in a collision, a ten-pound (4.5-kg) baby inside will slam into the dashboard with the same force as that felt by a baby hitting the ground after falling from a three-story building. Therefore, buckle up! Make it your habit and your family’s habit too!
