Baby Safety Answers!

 

Q: "How does a safety seat protect a child," a new dad asked Bob Wiley, a certified car seat installer?

A: They provide a 'ride-down' benefit during the rapid slow-down that takes place in a crash.

If properly installed, a safety seat works to allow the child's body to stop as the vehicle is slowing, reducing the force on the child's body and preventing contact with hard surfaces inside the car, with other passengers, the road, or other cars.

Child safety seats also act to spread the impact over a broad area of the body, rather than on any particular part of the child’s body and distributes it to the strongest parts—hips, back, and shoulders.

More than a million children are treated each year in emergency rooms and in their doctor’s office for car-related injuries.
