Parents experience no greater concerns than the safety of their children. No parent wants to smother a child’s spirit. But we must secretly admit that worries over not knowing where our child has gone with a friend for a moment, or whether school bullies might be causing trouble for our kids gnaw at us. Just being a good parent is a full time job.
Many parents fret over their child’s welfare from cradle to well past that child’s retirement from the workforce. Concerns for your children’s welfare never go away. So it’s no wonder that many parents perform extensive research before undertaking even such simple tasks as buying a car seat. Parents go online to check the most up-to-date test results regarding car seat safety ratings and crashworthiness. They check the news for any recalls that might affect their purchase plans.
But most recalls appear only after several accidents and injuries bring a problem to light. A weak lock-release mechanism that let children fall from their car seats during wrecks and sudden stops led to the recent Dorel car seat recall. Several injuries, including a head injury, resulted from this defective harness mechanism.
We all hope that our children will never suffer serious injuries. Few things bring more pain to a family than a child suffering from a sudden car wreck. America is a nation that relies on its cars to get around. And our busy roadways have made auto accidents the leading cause of death for children. It may not always be possible to prevent a collision. But there are steps that we can take to enhance our child’s safety in the car.
