Protecting your youngest passengers is our priority here at Ford of Boerne. Whether you’re traveling to Fredericksburg, San Antonio, Kerrville, Comfort, or beyond, we want our Texas families to be safe. This week is Child Passenger Safety Week, and we have some important information to spread awareness on the importance of vehicle safety.
Child Passenger Safety Week this year runs from September 21 to September 27. Check out these statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
- In passenger cars, car seats reduce the risk of fatal injury by 71% for infants and by 54% for toddlers 1 to 4 years old in passenger cars. For infants and toddlers in light trucks, the corresponding reductions are 58% and 59%, respectively.
- NHTSA estimates that since 1975, child restraints have saved the lives of 11,606 children under the age of 5.
- A NHTSA study found that while most parents and caregivers believe they know how to correctly install their car seats, about half (46%) have installed their child’s car seat incorrectly.
Car seats, when installed correctly, can truly save lives. There are free local inspection stations for our Texas families. Here, you’ll learn how to properly fasten/install your car seat, booster seat, and seatbelt.
