The back seat is the safest place for children to ride. Until a child is one year old and weighs twenty pounds, he or she should ride facing the back of the car. Children should ride in safety seats until they are four years old and weigh forty pounds and can sit against the back of the seat with their knees hanging over the front edge. These organizations can also advise you on child safety seat recalls and help you locate certified child passenger safety technicians who can check and make certain you are using your car seat correctly. These are a few of the precautions you can take to safeguard your kids.
Vigilance is the key.
We only want to hear good things about you and your grandchildren. We have all heard product recalls announced on the news. These recalls are usually very effective in getting products removed from store shelves and mail order catalogs. However, the recalls have not been as successful in getting people who have purchased the products to return them. This worries safety officials, because as long as the products are out there they can continue to injure or kill unsuspecting consumers.
