Of Interest to Parents... Is Your Child Safe? Question & Answer Why have children died in vehicles with air bags? In almost all cases in which an infant died, the baby was riding in a rear-facing safety seat in the front passenger seat. The back of the safety seat was so close to the dashboard that the air bag hit the safety seat with tremendous force. The force of the air bag caused a fatal brain injury. Child safety seats are not designed to protect against this extreme impact. When should a booster seat be used? If the child is under 8 years old or under four feet tall. Belt-positioning booster seats must be used with both lap and shoulder belts. Never use a booster seat with a lap belt only. Make sure the lap belt fits low and tight to avoid abdominal injuries. |
