Child safety seats

Some 3 out of 4 child safety seats are not used correctly.

The correct installation of child safety seats is often very confusing to parents, grandparents and caregivers. Changing technology in vehicles and child safety seats adds to this confusion.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation offers education, training and other resources on child passenger safety for the general public, health and law enforcement agencies.

• Proper use (updated June 2012)
• Car seat recommendations for children
• Car seat instructional video (Zero in Wisconsin)
• Laws
• Training
• Resources
