Proper restraint of your child while in a vehicle is vital to your child’s protection in the event of a car accident. Although, there have been many advances in the protection provided by Child Restraint Systems (CRS), the ease of installation and the usefulness of owner’s manuals and/or installation training materials have not necessarily caught up with those advances. As a result, far too many Americans either misuse or fail to use Child Restraint Systems.

A 2004 study by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) indicated that 72.6% of the Child Restraint Systems analyzed showed one or more forms of misuse.The most common forms of misuse were loose harness straps when securing the child to the CRS, and loose safety belts when securing the CRS to the vehicle.These findings were confirmed by a 2009 NHTSA study.In fact, in that study ALL of the participants who installed the CRS made at least one error. The most common errors found were loose installation, and twisted straps or belts.These results are important ...
... because correct installation can significantly reduce the risk of fatal injury and hospitalization. Most participants in these studies cited difficulty interpreting the owner’s manuals.

Because of the importance of properly installing Child Restraint Systems in your vehicle, I encourage all drivers to have their installations inspected and/or assisted by a trained professional.Child Restraint System inspections are conducted locally by most fire departments and many hospitals.Please take advantage of these resources.Your child’s safety depends on it.

Apart from the Child Restraint Systems information, all the drivers have to search for affordable safety seat which fits and protects their child and that they can install properly in their motor vehicle.One can face various variables such as child’s age, height, weight and shoulder height and location of harness and more.So, before you purchase any child safety seat, you make sure to educate yourself in advance.

Child restraint systems are especially designed to offer specialized protection for child occupants in the event crash.The CRS is completely effective that depend on: accurate installation of the CRS in the vehicle, accurate harnessing of the child, utilization of appropriate CRS and more.Present, study’s main aim is to investigate the incidence misuse and inappropriate use of CRS through a CRS inspection program.
