The campaign kicks off at the same time as National Child Passenger Safety Week, which is Sept. 17- 23, 2023. About 46% of car seats aren't installed correctly, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. In 2022, 72 children younger than 8 years old died in traffic crashes in Texas, and 16 of those were unrestrained at the time of the crash, according to a release from TxDOT.
"It's extremely important that parents schedule a car seat check today," said TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams in a release."Ensuring car seats are installed correctly is one of the most important things a parent or caregiver can do to protect the smallest occupants in a crash."
