Parents can often obsess about the possible danger their children may face at any given moment. Of all the worries one can have, car safety is probably the most important. Car accidents remain the leading cause of accidental death for children, but increased use of safety seats has reduced this death rate by 45% since 1987 when more and more laws and public awareness programs were implemented. The one thing you can do to reduce the chances of serious injury is to follow the proper national guidelines and laws for car seat safety. Recently, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended that infants remain in rear-facing car seats until age two, regardless of weight or height.
