As an automobile dealer, I see many customers, families and neighbors both inside and outside of the dealership. Unfortunately, many parents are unaware that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death and injury of children. And research shows that the majority of child seats are not being used correctly. Furthermore, there are nearly 20 million at-risk children between the ages of four and eight who are not properly secured in booster seats while riding in automobiles. These children have outgrown their safety seats and are often using adult safety belts that are too large for their small bodies. Children in this age group (generally 40-80 pounds and less than 4'9") should be properly restrained in booster seats, as they have generally outgrown child safety seats.
