| DENVER – Nearly seven out of ten children, ages 8 to 12, killed in motor vehicle crashes in Colorado since 2004 were not wearing seat belts. That’s why Child Passenger Safety (CPS) Team Colorado is launching a new campaign with a goal of getting more of these so-called “tweens” to buckle up and sit in the back seat. The campaign, called “Nag Me to Click It,” aims to encourage parents and caregivers to keep reminding kids to buckle up and not take “no” for an answer.
