Article: Car-Dealers-Host-Drive-For-Child-Safety
Auto dealers across the country are doing their part to help parents buckle up kids safely.
Dealers are hosting free child safety-seat inspection events at their dealerships throughout September. It's all part of the National Automobile Dealers Association's (NADA) Child Passenger Safety Month and its Boost for Safety campaign, a program developed in partnership with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
"Parents will do the right thing if they have the right information," said William Bradshaw, NADA chairman and a new-car dealer in South Carolina. "Unfortunately, many parents don't have the right information when it comes to child safety seats--and dealers want to change that," he added.
More than 40,000 child passengers under age 4 are injured or killed in car crashes annually, according to NHTSA. Also, over 50,000 children between 4 and 8 years old are injured or killed riding in cars annually.
NADA's Child Passenger Safety Month coincides with the back-to-school period, when many kids are on the roads every day.
