NADAguides.com Joins Effort to Promote Child Safety Seat Awareness

Parents Can Now Research Important Safety Seat Information Online at NADAguides.com.

COSTA MESA, Calif., Oct. 5 -- As part of a national campaign to promote child safety seat awareness, NADAguides.com is now offering important child passenger safety information at its website, www.NADAguides.com.

The website provides crucial information about the proper installation of child safety seats, including articles about the basics of child passenger safety, details about where parents can go to have their child's safety seat inspected, a parent's guide to buying and using booster seats, a video highlighting the benefits of booster seat usage and proper installation, and more.

The national awareness campaign is part of a partnership between the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). To promote safety seat awareness, new car dealers from across the country will be hosting child safety seat inspection events during the month of October, which has been named Booster Safety Seat Month.

"Protecting our children from harm is of the utmost importance, especially when it comes to the prevention of motor vehicle deaths," said Len Sims, vice president, NADAguides.com. "Our child passenger information, backed by NHTSA, was designed to give parents and caregivers the basic and crucial information they need to research, buy and properly install child safety seats."

At a recent press conference to kick off the campaign, NHTSA Administrator Jeffrey Runge said, "Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children between four and eight years old. This campaign will raise awareness of the life-saving benefits of child booster seats."

Child seats for babies and toddlers will be inspected at car dealerships across the country this month, but particular attention is being paid to booster seats for older children, which is also a focus of the content available at NADAguides.com. Recent surveys show that only an estimated 15 percent of booster-aged children are properly belted, with approximately 17 million booster-aged children at unnecessary risk because they were not properly restrained in a safety seat.
