Children Back Seat Safety

Good news about child car safety today in Wall Street Journal. An AP report mentioned how many childrens lives have been saved since parents have become more aware of the front seat danger and are diligent in seeing they are properly restrained in back seat.

Fatalities involving children (under 12) in the front seat have dropped 46% from 1996 to 2003. Remember years ago hearing of several children being killed from air bags while riding in the front seat. Solid progress is being made but most believe there is still a great need to teach new mothers how important it is the child is properly restrained in the back seat.

The improved children safety statistics prove public and private campaigns to make parents more aware are paying off.
