car seat & passenger safety

September 18, 2025

In part 1 of our safety series, we are discussing car seat & passenger safety. We are joined by Jennifer Rubin, UC Davis trauma prevention manager and coalition coordinator for Safe Kids Greater Sacramento. We review which car seats are appropriate for what ages, installation mistakes and how to ensure the safest possible ride every time for your most precious cargo. We also review bicycle and pedestrian safety tips.


We thank Jennifer Rubin for joining us on this episode of Kids Considered but Drs Lena & Dean take responsibility for any errors or misinformation.
