Safety Audit
Issue 10: "Car seats, Carpools and Caregivers"
by the Paranoid Sisters

Are your kids in daycare? Do friends or family ever transport
your kids? Just like with guns and pools, it is important that
we know the safety habits of the people around us.
Do the people
who transport your children know that children under 12 should
not sit in front of an airbag? Is the car seat properly secured
after it is transferred from your car to theirs? Lisa had 4 kids
in car seats, so you can imagine the horror when the car seats had
to be transferred. Do they know not to leave the children
unattended in the car?
If you haven't already, take a look at our Car seat Baby-sitter article here. Do they
know that children can die from suffocation and heat when left in
the car? You don't want to find out to late that the people
transporting your kids are not doing it safely.
