ABC's of air bag safety

     Delaware Cooperative Extension and the Office of Highway
Safety recommend the following safety precautions, especially if
you drive a car equipped with an air bag:
       * Always buckle up children under the age of 12 in the
  back seat.
       * Put children and infants in age- and size-appropriate
  child safety seats.
       * Wear both lap and shoulder belts. Buckle lap belts low
  and tight across the hips.
       * Wear the shoulder belt across the chest, not behind or
  across the face or neck.
       * For drivers and front-seat passengers, move the seat as
  far back from the dashboard as possible.
     Remember these ABCs-Air bag safety means Buckle everyone!
Children in the backseat!
