Oxford County OPP is offering tips on how to properly install a child seat in your vehicle.
OXFORD COUNTY - Oxford County OPP are encouraging parents to be safe when it comes to seating your child in the car.
In a recent video with the Highway Safety Division (HSD) they say they have received questions from parents on the topic.
Officer Henk Ruitenbeek says different rules apply to different ages.
"Between a newborn and 20 lbs in the rear-facing five point harness. 20 to 40 lbs in a five point harness,front-facing and 40 to 80 lbs in a regular boosting seat and once you hit either 80 lbs, eight years old or 4'9" you can go in a regular seat belt."
He adds a lot of studies have been done as a result of car accidents and fatalities and the rules have been instilled for the child's safety.
A representative from the Child Passenger Safety Association of Canada (CPSAC) Jaslyn Declercq also discussed the best practices versus the legal minimum.
