This is a hands-on program designed to help prevent deaths and serious injuries from motor vehicle crashes by educating children, ages 3 to 10, their parents, and educators about the importance of buckling up for every ride. Children and their parents will also learn how to buckle up, and how to determine whether the children need to ride in a booster seat or if they can correctly fit into an adult lap and shoulder belt. Families are educated through school visits and city-wide car seat check-ups sponsored by the Junior League of Little Rock.

The Buckle Up and Be Safe committee uses the I'M SAFE! IN THE CAR curriculum as well as a car seat simulator. At the spring 2007 car seat check up event, the Junior League volunteers and technicians from the UAMS Child Passenger Safety Education Program checked 54 car seat positions to ensure that car seats and booster seats were properly installed. 12 replacement seats, provided by the Junior League of Little Rock, were distributed. Overall, the Buckle Up and Be Safe volunteered over 200 hours in educating the community on car seat safety.
