It is Child Passenger Safety Week and with school back in session now is a perfect time to talk about car seat safety, especially with many parents belong to carpools and take turns shuttling kids to and from after school activities. We have teamed up with Britax, the leading car seat manufacturer of car seats and booster seats, to help make sure you and your family are safe riding to and from school every day.
Child Passenger Safety Statistics
1. Car crashes are a leading cause of death for children 1 to 13 years old.
2. During the 5-year period from 2008 to 2012, more than 3,390 children were killed in car crashes. In addition, an estimated 613,000 children were injured.
3. In 2012 alone, 121,000 children under age 13 were injured as passengers in car crashes.
4. Based on U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) crash data, in 2012 on average, nearly 2 children under the age of 13 were killed and 332 were injured every day while riding in cars, SUVs, pickups, and vans.
5. In 2012, over one third (37%) of children killed in car crashes were not in car seats, booster seats, or seat belts.
6. Every 34 seconds one child, under age 13, is involved in a crash.
7. All 50 States, the District of Columbia, and all U.S. territories have laws requiring children to be restrained while riding in cars. Some States now require kids to ride in appropriate car seats or booster seats until age 9.
8. The 2013 National Survey of the Use of Booster Seats (NSUBS) shows that only 66 percent of children ages 4-7 were restrained in either forward-facing car seats (20%) or in booster seats (46%). About 24 percent of children ages 4-7 were prematurely moved to seat belts and 9 percent were unrestrained.
9. Safety is also a big issue for older kids. From 2008-2012, there were 1,874 child passengervehicle occupants in the 8-14 age group killed in crashes. A third of these kids (610) were killed while riding in the front seat. All children under age 13 should always ride in the back seat.
10. Far too many “tween” passengers ride completely unrestrained, exposing them to great risk. Among kids ages 8-14 who died in crashes from 2008-2012, 47 percent of 8-year-olds,

It’s simple and yet commonly overlooked. We use the seats until they’re maxed out. If the limit is rear facing til 40 pounds, they’re in it rear facing until the day they’re 40 pounds. My oldest is in a high backed booster because the capacity for it is 100 pounds and he’s only about 60 pounds. Definitely something that’s important to me!
