Child Car Seat Shows Advantages in Study
WASHINGTON – Young children stand a better chance of avoiding death in a serious car crash if they’re secured in a car seat rather than buckled in a seat belt, according to a study released yesterday.
Researchers at the Children’s hospital of Philadelphia found that children ages 2-6 were 28% less likely to be killed in a crash if they were sitting in the back in either a child safety seat or a booster seat instead of secured by a seat belt.
Even when considering “grouse misuse” the risk of death was reduced by 21%, the study found.
“Parents should feel confident that using an age-appropriate restraint in the rear seat for their child is the best thing they can do to minimize their child’s risk of both injury and death in the event of a crash,” said Dennis Durbin, the study’s author and a pediatric emergency-medicine physician at the Philadelphia hospital.
