Child Passenger Safety Week

A national survey on safety shows that 95% of children who should be in booster seats (usually children between the ages of 4-8) are not. In observance of Child Passenger Safety Week, February 8-14, the Elkhart County SAFE KIDS Coalition hopes to increase car seat safety awareness. “Far too many parents are graduating their children into a safety belt when they should still be in a booster seat,” said Deana James, chairperson of the coalitions child passenger safety committee. “We are seeing children at great risk for injury because they are riding with safety belts across their faces, behind their back, or, in too many cases, completely unrestrained.” Motor vehicle crashes arc the number one unintentional-injury-related killer of children ages 14under. Each year, nearly 1,400

children, ages 14-under. die as passengers in motor vehicle crashes, and 305,000 more are injured. Among those killed, nearly 30% are booster seat age. Children between 40-60 pounds should ride in car booster seats. Children this size are too small to correctly fit in adult safety belts alone. Car booster seats are designed to “boost” a child up so lap and shoulder belts fit properly, snug over the shoulder and low over the hips and upper thighs. This significantly reduces the potential for injury and death. The Elkhart County SAFE KIDS Coalition has distributed SAFE KIDS Buckle Up Public Service Announcements to local television stations for airing February 8-14. SAFE KIDS Buckle Up. developed in partnership with General Motors, is designed to promote proper car

seat and safety belt use. Parents and care-givers can receive a free video and brochure about how to use car seats and safety belts correctly through a special toll-free number. 1-800-441-1888. The Elkhart County Coalition has also planned several car seat inspections for this spring, according to James. The inspections will be held at local car dealerships, and are a chance for parents to make sure their child car seats are in good working order and are installed properly. The coalition also has a program which provides car seats to low income families in the county. (Coincidentally, the Indiana House of Representatives is now considering House Bill 1206, the Standard Seat Belt Enforcement Bill. The bill is a critical safety law that will prevent injuries and save lives by requiring primary enforcement of the existing safety belt law.) Elkhart County SAFE KIDS Coalition is part of the National SAFE KIDS Campaign, the first and only national organization dedicated solely to the prevention of unintentional childhood injury—the number one killer of children ages 14-under. More than 230 state and local SAFE KIDS Coalitions in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico comprise the campaign. Former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, M.D.. is chairman of the campaign, and VicePresident A1 Gore and Tipper Gore are honorary chairs.
