Heres a terrible thought: Car accidents are the leading cause of death for children in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The good news is that parents can prevent many of these tragedies just by putting their children in the right car seat at the right age.
For National Youth Traffic Safety Month in May, our accident attorneys want to share some new safety tips and resources to help keep your child safe in the car.
Birth – 12 months: Children under age 1 should ride in a rear-facing car seat.
1 – 3 years: Children should be secured in a rear-facing car seat until they reach the top height or weight limit allowed by the car seat manufacturer.

It will be the most powerful and exciting Astra ever created whilst also being the hottest hot hatch on the UK market come this July when it is released.
Major Improvements
