Protecting Our Littlest Passengers: Clement Auto Group at STL Airport’s Safety & Wellness Fair
Last Friday, Clement Auto Group was honored to join Delta Air Lines and St. Louis Lambert International Airport at their annual Safety & Wellness Fair. We spent the day connecting with airport employees that is over 7,700 strong—sharing tips, demonstrations, and resources to help keep Missouri’s youngest travelers safe on the road.
A Big Thank You
A heartfelt thank you to Delta Airlines and St. Louis Lambert International Airport for inviting us to this fantastic event and for all the work you do to promote employee well-being. It was a pleasure partnering with your team to highlight one of the most important—and often overlooked—aspects of road safety: child passenger safety.
Why Child Car Safety Matters
Motor vehicle crashes remain the leading cause of death for children and young adults in the U.S. Proper use of car seats and booster seats reduces fatal injury risk by up to 71% for infants and by 45% for toddlers.⁽¹⁾ Here are a few key points every parent and caregiver should know:
- Missouri Law Requirements
- General Best Practices
