The Columbia Police Department is issuing an important reminder to parents regarding child safety in vehicles. It is crucial not to transition your child to a forward-facing car seat until they have fully outgrown their rear-facing seat. Safety experts emphasize that maintaining a child in a rear-facing position for as long as the car seat allows significantly enhances their protection and reduces the risk of serious injury during a collision. For additional information on this topic, parents are encouraged to visit TnTrafficSafety.org/cps.
