The Seatbelt

A seatbelt holds passengers in their seats during a sudden stop or crash. Wearing a seatbelt greatly reduces the risk of serious injury in a car accident. Seatbelts should be fastened every time you travel by car.

Seatbelts have saved millions of lives since they became common in cars. Passengers in the back of a car should wear seatbelts too, and a booster seat may be needed for smaller children.
