Safely in Your Car? Did you know that injuries from motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among children in the United States? Did you know that more than 80% of children are not properly restrained while riding in the car? This statistic does not reflect massive irresponsibility or neglect by parents. It is the direct result of the complexity of choosing and correctly installing child safety seats for children. Parents want their children to be safe - most children are improperly restrained simply because choosing and installing the correct carseat is vastly confusing. The sad truth is that vehicle safety systems are simply not designed for children, and finding and correctly using the right product to correct that oversight is very difficult, even for the most dedicated of parents. Why Should You Have Your Children's Carseats Checked By a Certified Child-Passenger Safety Technician? A crash at just 30 mph creates forces like that of falling from a five-story building. Can you imagine the injuries that would be caused by such a fall? What is the speed limit on the street in front of your house? What about on the streets you travel most frequently?

You wouldn't let your children go rock-climbing without correctly using the proper safety equipment - consult a certified child-passenger safety technician today!
