Child Passanger SafetyDo you have a transportation issue? Ask us!

Over 85% of child safety seats are used improperly, or not at all.  There are many examples:
Placing hard objects under the child safety seat, which may become projectiles under the forces of a collision.

 

 

Installing a rear-facing only infant safety seat forward-facing, placing the vehicle safety belt outside of the proper belt path, and leaving the carrier handle in the “Up” position when not permitted by the manufacturer.

 

This young man is clearly not yet ready to use the vehicle’s lap/shoulder safety belt.  He is in desperate need of a belt-positioning booster seat.

 

To help parents and caregivers properly protect children when traveling on the nation’s highways, we have helped train hundreds of Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPST) all around the country.  Trainees include state and local law enforcement, fire fighters, EMS personnel, medical professionals, child safety seat design engineers, and safety advocates.

 

 

Properly trained CPSTs help educate parents and caregivers in the correct use of child safety seats, and other transportation safety issues.
