Every 34 seconds, a child under the age of 13 is involved in a crash. More than a third of children killed in crashes are not in car seats or wearing seat belts.
With that in mind, the U.S. Department of Transportation'sNational Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is launching a new Car Seat Finder Tool, adding the ability to look up car seat recalls on its mobile app, and reminding parents and caregivers to register their child’s car seat through its new campaign – "Don’t Delay. Register Your Car Seat Today." NHTSA’s new Car Seat Finder Tool is aimed at helping parents select the right car seat or booster seat for their child, while the campaign reminds everyone of the importance of registering car seats to receive important safety recall notifications.
