Cops are cracking down on city parents who don’t buckle up their kids in car seats.
NYPD officers wrote 4,160 tickets for car-seat violations in the first 10 months of this year — or 14 per day, police said.
That represents a 55 percent increase over 2008, when police issued only nine violations per day.
Fines start at $50 for citations that range from not using any car seat to improper use of the devices.
The NYPD refused to provide a breakdown of the tickets or an explanation for the apparent blitz.
Earlier this month, a law went into effect increasing the top age of children who are required to use booster seats. The age went from 7 to 8.
Parents in Park Slope, Brooklyn, said they welcomed the enforcement.
“I have no problem with them enforcing [the law],” said Jennifer Murphy, 40, who has two children. “Cops are here for our safety. It’s important, especially when it comes to our children.”
