What are some safety precautions i should take for my 12-15 month old child when traveling?

Four points: Infants are more likely to die or be hospitalized from a crash than an illness. Babies must: 1) have the seat fastened to the car, 2) face the back window until 1+ years and twenty or more pounds, 3) not be in front of an air bag, and 4) not be in the front seat. Never leave your baby alone in a car while you run an errand. You could lose your child to a thief or heatstroke.

Safety: This is is a good reference. http://www.aap.org/en-us/about-the-aap/aap-press-room/news-features-and-safety-tips/Pages/Travel-Safety-Tips.aspx
