How do I keep my older kids safe in the car?

Car Safety for Kids Over 8

Use seat belts on kids older than 8 and over 80 pounds. The shoulder strap should rest comfortably across the child's shoulder and chest; don't put it behind her back or under her arm. The lap belt should rest across her upper thighs, not her abdomen.
