The leading cause of death for children between the ages of 3 and 14 are motor vehicle accidents and 2011 saw 1,210 fatalities added to that statistic. Besides the reported fatalities, an additional 171,000 more children were injured in accidents, many of which could have been prevented. When child seat restraints are used properly, the fatality rate decreases by 71 percent and for infants and 54 percent for children between the ages of 1 and 4 years old. Properly used booster seats help reduce the fatality rate for children ages 4 through 8 by 45 percent when compared to using a seat belt.
Mitsubishi is partnering up with Kids Safety First, a nonprofit safety organization, to conduct voluntary child seat safety checks at select dealerships across the country. In all, 15 dealerships in Arizona, California, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Texas will be conducting these checks. At these child seat safety inspection checks, certified child passenger safety experts will be on site providing the necessary insight for concerned families. These experts will show you how to properly choose a child seat and then install and use it correctly in your vehicle. Check out the list of scheduled stops for these child safety seat checks below.
