Safe travels for all
MASON CITY — Safeguarding infants and young children is never more important than when riding in a motor vehicle.
Young riders, including infants and children younger than the age of 10, have bodies that are more fragile and therefore may be more susceptible to injury in the event of an accident.
The state of Iowa requires that children between the ages of 6 and 18 ride in a booster seat installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions or be secured by an adult seat belt. Child safety seats are required for children under the age of 6.
Child safety seats should be placed in the rear seat away from the air bags, said Mason City Police Officer Jeremy Ryal, certified child passenger safety technician for the MCPD.
Seats should be rear-facing for infants and children up to the age of 2 so that the high back of the seat can protect them in the case of a crash.
Specifically, children who are a year old or younger or weigh less than 20 pounds must be secured in a rear-facing child restraint system.
