Where the Rubber Meets the Road with Safe Ride 4 Kids
Kids & Family:Parenting
Welcome to our first episode of Where the Rubber Meets the Road with Safe Ride 4 Kids.
Driving is the most dangerous activity we do every day, but your family has places to be and things to do. Safe Ride 4 Kids helps you arrive safely by equipping you with innovative products and unbiased information from our team of certified safety experts.
On this episode we start at the beginning and talk about the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's four stages of car seats: rear facing, forward facing, seat belt positioning and seat belt. We also talk a little bit about why we add a + (plus) stage; driving during pregnancy. As Professor Hank Weiss concluded in his 2001 study about pregnancy, car crashes and fetal deaths, “The major role that motor vehicle injuries have on reported traumatic fetal injury deaths was shown and a significant new challenge for child passenger safety advocates is indicated.”
