Tip For Teaching: Have your children practice buckling up their stuffed animals and dolls in their car seats. The kids have fun and learn how to work a seat belt properly. For more information go to https://t.co/bqClcXbD9f.

Wearing your seat belt saves you from hitting your airbag head on. They work together, not one without the other. #rockthebelt
