Children use seat belt height restrictions

Recently, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a report that more than 650 children died of car accidents in the United States in 2011, and one third of them were due to the lack of protective devices such as child safety seats. The report pointed out that child safety seats, child heightening seats and seat belts are the most effective ways to protect children under the age of 12 and traveling safely.

Researchers of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analyzed the data of accidental deaths in the United States from 2002 to 2011 and found that despite the fact that the number of accidental deaths among children aged 12 and below in the United States dropped by 43% during the 10 years, every 10 years from 2002 The number of 2.2 million people fell to 1.2 per 100,000 in 2011, but during this period, the number of children who died in car accidents in this age group was close to 9,200. Car accidents are still a major cause of child deaths in the United States.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that parents use children's safety seats, child seats, or seat belts for children regardless of distance. Children under 2 years old should use backward-facing safety seats and children from 2 to 5 years old. Use forward-facing safety seats. When children grow up, forward-facing safety seats are no longer suitable, they can use them to increase their seats. The use of seat belts is recommended only if the child is 57 inches tall (about 1.45 meters).
