"Hi, this is Casey Atkinson, from Willie Driving School here in Logan, Utah. Today, I'm going to talk a little bit about car seats, and the first thing you want to do with a car seat is read the labels, read the instruction manual so you put your child into the seat safely. Now, it says right here to make sure you don't put the car seat in the front seat because there's airbags in the front seat. An airbag will hurt a a full adult. It'll also hurt a baby pretty bad, so make sure you keep the child in the back seat. The back seat's the safest place in the car. Make sure you're sa, you safely buckle your child into the seatbelt in the car seat, and also the seatbelt in the back seat of the car. Now, any child under eight years old should be in a car seat or a booster seat, and as a redult as an adult, you have the responsibility to take, to make sure every child in the car is safe, including children up to sixteen years of age. Now also, if a child is under eight years old and taller than fifty seven inches he may sit in a regular car, a regular seat."
