It is estimated that 46 percent of car seats on America’s roads are installed incorrectly. A car seat that is incorrectly installed will not provide optimal protection in a crash situation, and may put your child’s safety at risk.
While great strides have been made in reducing child fatalities and injuries since the 1970s, over half of children killed in crashes are either improperly restrained or completely unrestrained.
