National Child Passenger Safety Week is Sept. 17-23 Parents and caregivers urged to keep kids safe in vehicles From Erin G. Eggen Frankfort, KY - Each year, National Child Passenger Safety Week aims to increase awareness for parents and caregivers about the importance of correctly buckling kids in the right seats for their age and size. It complements Gov. Andy Beshear's Better Kentucky Plan, in which the safety of everyone on Kentucky streets and roads is a top priority. "As a dad, I know how hard parents work to help keep children safe, especially on our roadways," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "While this week reminds us to take the proper precautions to keep our kids safe if faced with the unimaginable, our goal is to instill this knowledge and raise awareness year-round." Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death for children, and the latest research from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) shows that 46% of car seats are misused. Common issues are children being in the wrong type of car seat for their age and size, and car seats being installed improperly -- both of which leave children vulnerable to injury in a crash. "Many parents may be surprised to find out their kids aren't as safe as possible in their vehicles," said Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Secretary Jim Gray. "We want to provide caregivers with the proper resources in order to feel confident in their actions and decisions when it comes to car seats and booster seats." Talk to an Expert There are certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians who help educate parents and caregivers about the right seats for their kids and help them learn how to install the seats correctly. To find a technician in Kentucky, visit NHTSA's car seat inspection location link, call Norton Healthcare at 502-629-7337 or email ncpw@nortonhealthcare.org with your city and/or county.
