Seat belts are super important straps in the car that keep you safe while driving! They hold your body tightly in the seat so you don’t bump around if the car stops suddenly. Every time you get in a car, buckling up should be the very first thing you do.
Many kids your age use a special booster seat to help the seat belt fit just right. Listen for the “click” sound to know your seat belt is locked and ready to protect you. Even if you are just going on a short trip to the store, you still need to wear one!
Grownups wear seat belts too, because they keep everyone safe. Never unbuckle your seat belt while the car is moving. Always sit in the back seat because it is the safest place for kids to ride!
