'BOOSTER BUGS' Teach Children the Best Way To Buckle Up. - Ants, beetles and crickets are the stars of a new traffic safety campaign aimed at preschoolers and elementary-age children, encouraging them to ride in booster seats. The Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning (OHSP) today officially launched the child-centered campaign as part of national Child Passenger Safety Week.
At Cumberland Elementary School in Lansing, OHSP officials showed students the new coloring book and stickers featuring the "Booster Bugs"—Auto Ant, Booster Beetle and Click-It the Cricket. In the short coloring book story, the bugs find themselves in the oversized world of humans. Just as the things they encounter are too big for them, they point out how adult-sized safety belts are too big for young children.
To order OHSP’s new Booster Bug and other child passenger safety materials, please visit www.michigan.gov/ohsp and click on "Traffic Safety Materials." Materials are free of charge to Michigan residents.
