Car crashes are a leading cause of preventative death for children. On average, two children under 13 were killed and an estimated 374 were injured every day in 2019 while riding in cars, SUVs, pickups and vans. To bring attention to this issue, Child Passenger Safety Awareness Week is Sept. 18-24.
