Child Passenger Safety Week serves as a reminder for parents and guardians to verify the safety of child passengers. It emphasizes the importance of ensuring that car seats are correctly installed and secured before every trip.

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) provides a comprehensive guide to help caregivers choose the appropriate car seat based on a child's age and size. The guide also includes instructions on proper installation and information on car seat laws in Illinois.

For those needing assistance with car seat installation, local police and fire departments across Illinois offer support to residents. This collaborative effort aims to enhance child safety on the road.
