Always keep children in the back seat-
According to experts from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), children under the age of 13 should always ride in the back seat. In case of an accident, the rear seat is 70 percent safer than the front seat.
Also, a child should never be seated in a front airbag seat. Front airbags are designed for adults. Sudden opening may cause serious injury or suffocation to the child.
Experts said that people should install child seats in their cars. It is not necessary to travel with children without a child seat. A child seat provides additional protection to the child in the event of an accident.
