Seatbelt checks

Everyone needs to be in a seat belt when traveling – even across the parking lot.

• Do power “seat belt checks” (in a parking lot or other safe setting, I slam on the break and anyone who ends up on the floor doesn't have their seatbelt fastened) and be vigilant about keeping everyone belted.
  
• Pick on one good-natured kid every time they get in the van ask: “___, do you have your seat belt fastened.” This eventually becomes a joke, but it makes its point.
