Car Seat Inspections
The leading cause of death among children ages 3-14 in the United States is motor vehicle accidents. We can decrease this number by more than half by placing children in appropriate safety seats. Safety seats that are installed correctly can decrease the risk of death by 71% in infants and 54% in toddlers, and decrease the risk of injury to children using booster seats by 59%.
As there are many different types of car seats, it’s important to take the time and choose the correct seat to fit your child’s age, weight, and height. The safest seat is the one that is installed correctly and used correctly 100% of the time. Here are some of the basics of car seat safety.
- Check your car seat manual for information about car seat expiration, height, and weight limits.
- Never use a seat that has been involved in a crash.
- Remove bulky clothing and coats before buckling up.
- Never use items in your car seat that didn’t come with the seat.
