How about an infant you may ask?<\/p>\n
Well, the first booster seat for an infant was created as early as 1933 by called Bunny Bear Company.\u00a0 It was a very primitive seat that was designed so that parents can actually keep an eye out for their infant in the car.\u00a0 Almost 30 years later, Mr. Jean Ames innovated the first rear facing seat with safety harness similar to today\u2019s models (see featured picture below).\u00a0 5 years after that, in 1997, ISOFIX was introduced and quickly adopted to today\u2019s standard for anchoring child or booster seats for children.<\/p>\n
Fast forward to today, there are many different types of car seats created for your little loved ones so they stay safe and provide comfort at the same time.\u00a0 However, one important aspect remains the same no matter what color, type, or manufacturer that make these child seats: safety!<\/p>\n
According to Center for Disease Control and Prevention article, for the year 2019, the following statistics are as follows (www.cdc.gov\/transportationsafety\/child_passenger_safety\/cps-factsheet.html<\/a>):\u00a0\u00b7<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Preventative measures for child seats in the US.<\/p>\n According to the federal law governing the United States for child seats, it states:\u00a0Children up to their seventh birthday, regardless of weight, and all children weighing less than 60 pounds, regardless of age, to ride in a federally approved child safety seat.\u00a0Children ages 7 to 12 must be properly secured in a seat belt or federally approved booster seat that fits their height and weight.\u00a0 However, as we have come to know, each state can have their own revisions and statues in addition to the US federal law.\u00a0\u00a0References for child seat laws in the United States per state can be found in the following website:\u00a0\u00a0www.verywellfamily.com\/us-car-seat-laws-by-state-4082814<\/a>.<\/p>\n Please see the following statistics below as children in conjunction with child or booster seats and the use of the respective restraint systems suited to their age group can increase the chances of their survival in a motor vehicle crash.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Please remember that our main responsibility is to protect the sacred lives of our children.\u00a0 As Albert Einstein (1879-1955, theoretical physicist) once said \u201cLife is sacred, that is to say, it is the supreme value, to which all other values are subordinate\u201d.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thursday May 26th, 2022 According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration\u2019s website (NHTSA), of the 22,215 passenger vehicle occupants killed in 2019, 47% were not wearing a seatbelt!\u00a0(www.nhtsa.gov\/risky-driving\/seat-belts) How about an infant you may ask?
