SafetyBeltSafe U.S.A. the national, non-profit organization dedicated to child passenger safety. Our mission is to help reduce the number of serious and fatal traffic injuries suffered by children by promoting the correct, consistent use of safety seats and safety belts.
Founded in 1980, SafetyBeltSafe U.S.A. is nationally recognized for program excellence, training, and up-to-date technical materials. We provide consultation to advocates, parents, business leaders, the media, and professionals working in the fields of health care, traffic safety, and education.
Stephanie M. Tombrello, L.C.S.W., Executive Director of SafetyBeltSafe U.S.A., has been involved in child passenger safety since 1970. While shopping for a car seat for her infant daughter, she was shocked to learn that most of the models available in stores were unsafe. Stephanie and several other early pioneers in the field successfully petitioned the federal government to require crash testing for child restraints. She also wrote the petition which resulted in the federal requirement for manufacturers to provide shoulder belts in the rear seats of all post-1989 passenger vehicles.
In 1980, Stephanie founded a grassroots organization in the Los Angeles area which evolved to become SafetyBeltSafe U.S.A. Under her leadership, the organization has become the premier resource for child passenger safety in the nation. Stephanie is a nationally certified Child Passenger Safety Technician-Instructor and was appointed in 1995 to the National Blue Ribbon Panel on Child Restraint & Vehicle Compatibility.

A. We have been talking about how to keep your toddler or young child safe and secured in the car.
Now we are going to talk about what to do if your toddler or young child doesn't want to stay in the safety seat.
Emphasis; when you are approaching a child who is fussing about a safety seat take the same kinds of steps that you would, if your youngster wanted to play with a knife at home. Number one, make sure that the safety seat is properly used and fitted. The harness is comfortable, that the child's personal needs have been attended to, and the youngster is not just over-tired or desperately trying to lie down for a nap.
Next, be positive about the positive parts of the child's behavior. Praise is always a good thing.
Next, you want to have a firm attitude. This is just not a negotiable part of your child's day. If a youngster is going in the car, the child must be properly buckled up. If you led a child out once, that youngster will never let you forget it.
Now we've talked about some of the suggestions for coping with problems of children don't want to stay in the safety seat or fuss accessibly.
Next, we'll talk about the one-minute safety seat check for your toddler or young child.
