NHTSA launches car seat search tool. The Chicago Tribune (9/20, 2.26M) reports on
National Seat Check Saturday, today, which “aims to curb” the “preventable
deaths” that come from improper installation of child safety seats. NHTSA
figures show that “over 33 percent of children killed in 2012 were not properly
buckled in,” but correctly buckling in a child in the appropriate car seat “can
reduce the risk of serious and fatal injuries by over 70 percent for infants
and 45 percent for grade school children.”
Cars (9/20, 380K) reports, NHTSA “just
launched its Car Seat Fin,” which is a search tool “that makes selecting the
correct car-seat style a lot easier.”
