- The law is designed for minimal protection, We need to shoot for the maximum.Go above and beyond, your kids are worth it!The revised Louisiana seat belt law requires the driver and passengers seated in both the front and rear seats of vehicles to buckle-up.Driver’s license could be suspended if you do not have the proper child restraint for child passengers.
- Discuss best practice vs. law
- Although law says you can turn around at 1 yr and 20 lbs…this seat requires you to stay RF until 34”…how old is that? @ 2. Your kids are safer RF! Don’t rush it!
- What about my baby’s legs?Explain the injury trade out. Legs are usually folded, children are flexible and usually comfortable whatever way their legs may be.Kicking the seat back…forward face them and they’ll be kicking you…Pay attention to the head!

A child is considered to be unattended if left in a motor vehicle when the driver is more than 10ft from the vehicle and is unable to continuously observe the child. A child is considered unsupervised if a person who is at least 10 yrs + is not physically present in the vehicle. Cost: fines start at $500-$2000, possible imprisonment, not to mention possibly a child’s life

If you bring the baby into bed with you to breastfeed, put him or her back in a separate sleep area when finished.bassinet, crib, cradle, pack n play, or a bedside cosleeper (infant bed that attaches to an adult bed) There are no set laws for co-sleeping, but to be safe, a safety professional may recommend that you not co-sleep until your child is old enough to get out of their bed and walk into your room. If you need to have your child close there are other options rather than co-sleeping.There are a number of new mothers who suffer from sleep deprivation and exhaustion. It is very easy to fall asleep while breast feeding, roll over a child when in a deep sleep, and for a child to sink beneath a parent while co-sleeping. Even the lightest sleeper can sleep on top of a small child after not sleeping for days.

Children are often ashamed and feel that no one can help.Research shows that 67% of bullying happens when adults are not present. Your kids learn a lot about poer relationships form watching you. Any time you speak to another person in a hurtful or abusive way, you are teaching your child that bullying is ok.Withdrawal, drop in grades, not wanting to go to school, angry.Coach your children what not to do…hitting, pushing, teasing, being mean to others.

- ACT 166We all know we should buckle up each and every time we enter a vehicle. It is your best defense against other distracted drivers. The Louisiana seat belt law is a primary offense law, meaning a law enforcement officer can stop and ticket a violator for that violation alone.The law applies to all vehicles having a gross weight of 10,000 pounds or less, which includes automobiles, vans and pick-up trucks. Violators are subject to fines of $25.00 for the first violation, $50.00 for a second violation, and $50.00 plus court cost for subsequent violations.All unrestrained passengers in your vehicle become projectiles in the event of a crash or sudden stop, putting themselves and others at risk for injury or death. Buckle up and get ready for a safe ride.
