The force of the impact deployed Richter's airbag, crushed the front-end of the vehicle and shattered the windshield. Yet, Richter and Erin were both unharmed. Get your child's safety seat checked to keep them safe. And adults must buckle up, too. Certified Fit for a Kid inspectors will not only inspect the child safety seat or booster seat for proper installation and fit but also will educate parents on which restraints are right for their children, and how to use them correctly.
Traffic crashes are the number one killer of kids.
Eight out of ten children in safety seats are incorrectly buckled in. We are thrilled to know that this valuable service has helped avert a potentially heartbreaking tragedy. Pat Schulz and Lyn Henriksen, both certified Fit for a Kid child safety seat inspectors at Miller Motors, inspected Erin's seat. They found that the seat was not strapped in tightly enough, that the harness straps weren't snug enough and the locking clip was improperly used. They corrected the mistakes, and then showed Richter how to properly install the seat.
