As kids get older, fewer of them buckle seatbelts
We seem to grow a little more daring — or stupid — as our children get older.
According to a survey from Child Trends Data Bank, 99 percent of kids less than a year old are buckled up when they get in the car.
By the time kids reach 8 to 15, the percentage buckled in drops to 82 percent. And ages 16 to 24? Sixty-nine percent.
No word on older folks, but here's a look at the results — and a reminder to buckle up no matter how old you or your kids are.
- Under 1 year, 99 percent.
- 1 to 3 years, 94 percent.
- 4 to 7 years, 83 percent.
- 8 to 15 years, 82 percent.
- 16 to 24 years, 69 percent.
