If you see an unbuckled child in a moving vehicle, call
1-800-505-BABY. Be prepared to provide:
- the license number and state on the car
- the city where the violation occurred
- the location of the child (front seat, driver's lap, etc.)
The vehicle owner will receive a letter saying that an unbuckled child was observed, and that the law requires children under five to be properly secured. The letter is not a ticket, but serves as a chance to inform the owner of the vehicle about keeping children safe in the car.
The number one killer of children in Missouri is motor vehicle crashes. One simple item could help save countless children is a properly installed child safety seat
Did you know that 4 out of every 5 child car seats are installed incorrectly?!Did you know that one third of children are riding in the wrong restraints for their age and size?
- Over 1/3 of children use the wrong restraint for their size and age.
- Children 5 - 8 years old should be riding in belt-positioning booster seats.
