Riding the BUCKLEBEAR Way 

BUCKLEBEAR wants YOU and YOUR little ones to ride his way. Riding in a car the BUCKLEBEAR way is the safe way!

• Everybody Buckles Up!
  Unrestrained passengers can cause injuries to others, as well as themselves.

• Buckle Across Hips, Not Tummy!
  For maximum safety, buckle the regulation belt over hips, not tummy.

• Riding the NICE way!
  Buckled-up children are good passengers. They don't interfere with the driver.

• Sidewalk Side for Safety!
  Exit on the grass or curb side. On the street side, passing drivers may not see small children.

• Back Seat, Best Seat!
  Most statistics show the back seat to be the safest. There's less hard surface to collide with in a sudden stop or collision.

Through discussion, a video presentation, a rhyme and a song, BUCKLEBEAR teaches children about car safety. By encouraging the use of seat belts, BUCKLEBEAR helps ensure each ride is a safe one.
