Perhaps you've heard the statistics: four out of five car seats are not installed correctly. What could possibly be so difficult about installing a car seat? Many times the car seat just doesn't fit the inside contours of the automobile, says Pamela Bryant, R.N., Manager of Community Education at Children's Hospital of Orange County and Orange County SAFE KIDS Coordinator. Without a snug, tight fit, the car seat cannot provide full protection during a collision. The result may be fatal, even at speeds as low as 30 miles per hour.
Did you know that every 12 minutes somebody in the United States dies in a traffic collision? In 2006 more than 42,642 people were killed in traffic collisions while another 2.5 million were injured. I cannot think of a better reason for wearing a seatbelt.
