Columbia Police Department Advocates for Safe Child Car Seat Practices

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.
