Safe Kids released “Buckle Up: Every Ride, Every Time” report
Safe Kids Worldwide is a global network of organizations dedicated to providing parents and caregivers with practical and proven resources to protect kids from unintentional injuries, the number one cause of death to children in the United States.
One in four parents and caregivers responding to a Safe Kids Worldwide survey said they have driven without making sure their children are safely secured in vehicles. Throughout the world, almost one million children die of an injury each year, and almost all of these tragedies are preventable.
The report, funded as part of a $2 million grant from the General Motors Foundation, is based on a national online survey of 1,002 parents and caregivers of children ages 10 and under. It reveals that one in four parents admit to having driven without their child buckled up in a car seat or booster seat.
Safe Kids released Buckle Up: Every Ride, Every Time today as part of National Child Passenger Safety Week, which began Sunday and continues through September 21.
