wear helmets and even knee guards when riding
bikes. It is important to take precautions with golf
cars as well. The greatest risk for golf car passen-
gers is ejection. Consider requiring that small chil-
dren wear a helmet when riding your golf car and
install safety belts. Alert family and friends who
may also transport your children about the rules
and consistently enforce them.
Golf Cars Aren’t for Babies
The Center for Injury Research and Policy at Na-
tionwide Children’s Hospital recommends that
children under the age of six not be transported
in golf cars. Even golf cars equipped with safety
features do not provide adequate safety for babies
or any child under the age of six. It may be tempt-
ing to hold your baby in your lap or even strap a
toddler into a booster seat with golf car seat belts,
but resist the urge. It just isn’t safe.
