(Illinois) Car-seat law aims to protect children
"bobb" wrote in message ...
Friends of mine in the emergency medical professions have seen many infants and children being hospitalized as a direct result of restraint systems... Your friends may be interested in this fact sheet from the latest study on booster use from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, available here in PDF Form: http://www.chop.edu/traumalink/downl...s_allstate.pdf The original study was printed in the Journal of the American Medical Association: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...&dopt=Abstract More images and state breakdowns can be found he http://www.chop.edu/consumer/jsp/div...c.jsp?id=71421 This is a great site with lots of relevant information on the efficacy of boosters for children. I hope any parent who may consider leaving their child unrestrained or without a booster will visit these links to learn more before making their choice. Often given little merit, is the loose cargo carried inside the vehicle at the time of impact. These become missiles as the car suddenly stops or changes direction upon impact and death or injury is not dependant upon restraint systems. Keep in mind that an unrestrained child is also loose cargo, and will become a missile in the same manner. Unfortunately, this type of missile does depend upon restraint systems.

(Illinois) Car-seat law aims to protect children
I don't think Bobb is arguing as much that any restraints don't help,
as much as he is arguing like I did, that these things are being IMPOSED without first being tested. The population is being used as Guinea Pigs. |

The population is being used as Guinea Pigs. Obviously seat belts provide more protection than not using seat belts. Seat belts with shoulder harnesses provide more protection than seat belts without harnesses. And baby car seats provide more protection in the back of the car than the front. And baby car seats provide more protection if they are facing the rear. What's the problem, Greg? You don't think seat belts were tested to see if they offered more protection than not using seat belts? Dan |

The child cannot be used as a Guinea pig for his brand of "discipline" or anything else - if she isn't there... Sherm. |
