STOKES COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT: Proper Seat Belt Information

Stokes County Health Department issued the following announcement on July 6.

Proper seat belt fit typically does not occur until children are between 9 and 12 years old. Seat belt fit can vary by vehicle. 

So, check the fit in all vehicles you drive to make sure the child no longer needs to use a booster seat. 

Your child might need a booster seat in one vehicle but not in another.

Best practice: Keep children properly buckled in the back seat until they are at least 13 years old. 

DYK: Airbags are designed to protect adults and can be dangerous to young children.
