Campaign Reminds Motorists to Boost and Buckle Kids Under 8

Dexter, Missouri– The Dexter Police Department participated in the Child Passenger Safety (CPS) Week Law Enforcement Campaign conducted September 23-29, 2018. During the enforcement effort, officers issued a total of 19 traffic tickets including: 16 safety belt tickets.
 
Missouri law requires all children under the age of eight to be in an appropriate child safety seat or booster seat unless they are 80 lbs or 4’9” tall. 

“It’s so important for parents and caregivers to understand the importance of child restraints,”Chief Trevor Pulley. “It’s not just about following the law – child restraints help prevent serious injury and may even save your child’s life.” 

Funding for this effort was provided through a grant from the Missouri Department of Transportation’s Highway Safety & Traffic Division in cooperation with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Missouri Safety Center.

Child passenger safety - safety counts

Do you know if your child is in the right safety seat? While they may be old enough, they still may not weigh enough, or be tall enough to buckle up and skip the booster or car seat. 

National Child Passenger Safety Week is Sept. 23-29. The Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety wants to ensure all caregivers of young children know the importance of buckling children in an appropriate child restraint. Motorists can also expect increased enforcement of Missouri's child seat safety laws during this campaign.

In 2017, 12 children less than eight years of age were killed and 43 suffered injuries as occupants in motor vehicle crashes in Missouri. Thirty-one percent of the children killed were not restrained in a car seat or safety belt.

Missouri law requires all children under 8 to be in an appropriate child safety seat or booster seat, unless: 
1.  They are at least 80 pounds
2.  They are at least 4'9" tall
3.  While Missouri law only requires one of them, safety encourages all of them.

"All parents and caregivers need to understand the importance of booster seats. It's not just about following the law - booster seats help prevent serious injury and may even save your child's life," said Jon Nelson, chair of the executive committee for the coalition.
