ST. PAUL — If you drive with child passengers, job one is making certain they are properly buckled in. It’s not only Minnesota law – used correctly every time, every ride, car seats save children’s lives. From Sept. 21-27, as part of 2025 National Child Passenger Safety Week, parents, grandparents and others who transport kids have special opportunities to ensure they are installing and using car seats correctly. During Child Passenger Safety Week, certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians across Minnesota will conduct special car seat check clinics to teach proper car seat and booster seat installation and ensure those currently in use are installed correctly. Law enforcement will cite drivers for not wearing a seat belt or using a proper car seat.
