Provide examples of new safety guidelines that did not exist either when you were growing up, or when your parents were growing up. When I was growing up I did not have to wear my seatbelt. My brothers and I would run around all over the inside of the car while our mother drove down the street. When we rode our bikes or go carts we didn’t have to wear helmets. Although there was a few times we wished we did.
Research shows that child safety seats reduced fatal injuries by
71% for infants younger than 1
54% for toddlers 1 to 4 years old
48% 5 years old to 14 years old
