儿童安全

让孩子在移动的车辆中安全是一个严重的问题和主要责任。安全涉及适当的座位，车辆条件，运输政策和程序以及儿童行为。以下指南将帮助您保持儿童安全。

在汽车或面包车：

• 确保您知道如何正确安装座位。检查座椅是否安装正确，在车辆移动之前，将正确安全地固定。
• Never allow a child to sit in the front seat of a vehicle.
• Replace a car seat if it has been recalled, involved in an accident, or is beyond the manufacturer's "date of use."

In a school bus:

• Use an approved child safety restraint system designed for children under 50 pounds.
• Make sure the restraint system is installed and used correctly.
• 做not place restraint systems in emergency exit rows.
• Have a plan for evacuating children from the bus. Practice your plan.
• Make sure there is a spot to secure a forward-facing wheelchair with four tie-downs.
• Remember any vehicle that can hold more than 10 people is considered a bus, but large passenger vans are not approved for use as school buses unless they meet certain standards.

In all vehicles:

• Never leave a child alone.
• Make sure the temperature is safe and comfortable. Children are not always dressed for the weather. Use the air conditioning if the internal temperature reaches 82°F. Use the heater if the internal temperature drops below 65°F.
• 当儿童进入并退出车辆时，请执行名称到脸部。使用您的出席表。
• 检查车辆以确保没有孩子留下。

• 教孩子们的交通安全规则。这些包括戴安全带并保持坐姿。
• Only pick up and drop off at the curb or at an off-street location.
• Make sure a parent or guardian observes the pick-up and drop-off procedures. Stay with the child until the parent or guardian verbally and physically takes responsibility for the child.
• 记录每个接送和下车的出勤时间和时间。
• 在规划在何处和如何保护孩子时，考虑到个人的健康，行为或移动性需求。
