Motor vehicle injuries remain a leading cause of death among children in the U.S., with the CDC highlighting the importance of car seat safety. As Child Passenger Safety Week approaches, various initiatives are underway to educate parents about proper car seat installation and usage, as nearly half of all car seats inspected are found to be improperly installed. Experts recommend that car seats should be checked by certified technicians to ensure maximum safety. Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital emphasizes the need for car seats to fit both the child and the vehicle correctly, and they provide consultations for parents. In Michigan, ongoing efforts aim to reduce child fatalities through better car seat education and inspections. National Seat Check Saturday will coincide with Child Passenger Safety Week, offering free inspections across the nation.
