Every time we ride in a car, we need to wear a seatbelt. Do you remember to wear your seat belt? I do!
Because I am a dog, I wear a special seatbelt. It is called a safety harness. The harness goes between my front legs, up my chest, and around my shoulders. Mom clips my harness to the car's seatbelt.
Here are two photos of me in my harness.

There are many kinds of seat belts for dogs. Little dogs normally ride in pet carriers. Medium size dogs and big dogs need to use a harness.
I am a very big dog. I weigh nearly 100 pounds! A harness is the safest seat belt for me.
The same is true for children. If you are very little, then you need to ride in a car seat. When you get a little bigger, you can use a booster seat. When you get to be a "big kid," then you can ride in the car with a regular seat belt.
If you would like to learn more about seat belt safety, we found some great activities and coloring books. Just click on one and start to have fun!
