Child Passenger Safety Week!



It may be a bit early to start reporting this, but the more times you see it the more likely you are to take advantage of this great service being offered.  The week of September 19 through September 25, 2010 is "Child Passenger Safety Week" through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.  Sure, Labor Day is also coming up and the cars offered at Pittsburgh Nissan Dealers on outgoing 2010 models may monopolize your time.  But for those people who carry children in their vehicles regularly, you really should take some time to make sure that everything is in good working order.  According to the NHTSA, three out of four child safety seats are improperly installed; that is 75% of seats in American that could cause injury to your precious cargo.

If you bought your car from Philadelphia Ford Dealers it shows you are concerned with things like quality, value, and safety.  Ford models are a great value, crafted from the finest materials, and consistently exceed crash test rating requirements.  Parents are encouraged to take their Ford Escape Inventory or other primary driving vehicle to one of the seat inspection stations on September 25, 2010.  There are thousands of locations across the country that will help parents and guardians make sure that their child safety seat is properly installed.

From the website, you can find special features like requiring a Spanish or other language safety seat technician.  Also, parents are encouraged to check their local newspapers for information on local events that will be happening.  This is a completely free service sponsored by this government agency and dedicated volunteers at the local level.  All levels of safety seats can be inspected; rear facing, forward facing, booster seats, and even seat belt usage for minors.  Children tend to be accident prone enough all on their own; it is our job to keep them safe when we can!
