Child Car Seat, Booster Seat, and Restraint Failures

Georgia Defective Child Restraint Attorneys

Defective child seats, booster seats, and other restraints that fail to offer the protection they should cause serious injuries and fatalities to hundreds of children each year.

At Harris, Penn & Lowry, we'd like to change that.

Unfortunately, federal standards for car seat safety are minimum standards and the testing of these products that is done, is not done under real-world conditions. This makes choosing a safe car seat or booster seat difficult to do. There are, however, a few simple rules you can follow that will help:

• Don't rely solely on the seatbelt to anchor your child's car seat. Always use the latch system provided by the manufacturer.
• Always follow the instructions for the installation and use of the car seat. If you need help with understanding these instructions or installing the car seat, contact your local police or fire station.
• Replace car seats every two years at a minimum. Improvements are being made and the seats themselves can weaken with use.

For more specific information about car seats and child restraint systems, there are helpful Internet web sites like safetyforum.com that you can consult. In addition, you might consider opting to purchase a vehicle with an integrated child safety seat built into its design. These newer products are becoming more widely available and offer better protection for your children.
