There are a lot of car seats out there. Many tout having extra features to increase safety. Ultimately, however, the safest car seat for your child is the one that best:

The safest child safety seat is one that will "fit" your child, that is comfortable, that "fits" in your car, the seat is used all the time and it is affordable.

The Ministry does not recommend particular brands of child car seats. All child safety seats manufactured for sale in Canada must have a Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) label or statement of compliance on the seat. Child car seats without this label or compliance statement do not meet CMVSS requirements. Car seats made for the U.S. market have different compliance requirements. Yes.

The MTO recommends that children under the age of 13 years be placed in the back seat of the vehicle and away from active front air bags. Yes, the tether strap is required when using the latch system on a forward facing seat. The latch system is an alternative to using a seat belt and does not replace the tether strap. A tether strap must be used to prevent the forward motion of forward-facing car seats.

All car seats purchased in Canada must have a sticker on the seat that states they meet Transport Canada's Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 213 (CMVSS). Seats that do not meet this standard can not be sold or used in Canada. All models are crash tested for safety. There are different types of seats and harness systems available. They are all safe provided they meet this standard. You can use the seat system that is most comfortable for you and your child.

Child safety seat checks are conducted monthly at various locations throughout the Spokane community. To find when the next check is scheduled, you can call 1-509-232-2985.

The safest seat is one that fits your child, fits your vehicle, and one that you will use correctly each and every time. Car seats with a 5 pt. harness offer the best protection (visit CPSafety to learn why). Car-Safety.Org has a great guide to buying a carseat.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends that all children 12 and under be restrained in the rear seat. Researchers estimate that putting a child in the back seat instead of the front reduces the chance of injury and death by more than 30%, whether or not the car has a passenger air bag. The center of the back seat is the farthest away from a possible side impact, so we always try first to install a safety seat there.

Many parents think their children are too big for car seats or have outgrown their booster seats. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that children should be restrained in a booster seat until they are 4'9" and about 80 pounds. Regular seat belts are made for men who are 5'10" and 160 pounds. They are not designed to secure a child under 80 pounds. Yes, this quite possibly means that your 10 year old should still be in a booster seat!

Yes. Make sure your child is within the age/weight limits listed in your vehicle's owner's manual. If the seat fits your child and is used properly, it should be very safe and, of course, you never have to worry about installing it in the vehicle. There may be some disadvantages to integrated carseats (See #15, below).

Not until she has completely outgrown her regular safety seat when she weighs more than 40 pounds or is too tall for it. She is too tall if her shoulders are higher than the top set of harness slots or if the tips of her ears are above the back of the safety seat (the hard plastic, not the puffy fabric). If she is too tall for her convertible seat but still weighs less than 40 pounds, switch to a child-seat/booster.

The middle of the back seat is considered the safest position for a child in a car. This position is furthest from any possible point of impact.

Many pickup trucks have back seats that are too small for child safety seats. Researchers at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia have found that the risk of injury to children riding in the back seat of a compact extended-cab pickup truck is five times higher than when riding in any other vehicle. Injuries appear to be caused by hitting the inside of the pickup.

Most airlines accept car seats in addition to normal carry on or checked luggage provided approved space is available. When checking your car seat on a US Domestic or International flight you can bring your car seat to the gate to be loaded there. If checking a car seat as luggage the original box/packaging should be used. A liability release form must be signed.

Maybe. Integrated carseats, especially those with a harness, may have some disadvantages when used as the primary restraint for a child: Emergency personnel often prefer to remove a child in a separate carseat. This keeps the child immobilized in case of head/spinal injury, and may allow for safer transport in the ambulance. Integrated seats do not function rear-facing. Rear-facing is safest for children, and many separate carseat models allow for rear-facing use to 30 or 35 lbs.

FM-200 is the safest for people, planet and equipment. It is the best solution for clean fire systems.

NO. The back seat has always been safer, even before there were air bags. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conducted a study of children who died in crashes in the front and back seats of vehicles, very few of which had passenger air bags. The study concluded that placing children in the back reduces the risk of death in a crash by 27 percent, whether or not a child is restrained.

Generally, the recommendation is to replace all safety seats in use in a crash. It is almost impossible to tell if there is internal weakening of the plastic, and it would be very expensive to perform a thorough investigation of the safety seat to verify that it is safe to use. In California, state law requires that the responsible insurer replace safety seats that were in use at the time of the crash.

Unfortunately, there is no escape-proof safety seat. Children who learn how to get out of one kind of safety seat soon learn how to escape from others. However, most children quickly respond to parental firmness. This finding is based on a study conducted by SafetyBeltSafe U.S.A. with data collected from a range of English- and Spanish-speaking families.

Yes. The Federal Aviation Administration strongly recommends, but does not require, using safety seats on airplanes. Babies and children are much better protected during turbulence and in emergency landings when they use a safety seat. SafetyBeltSafe U.S.A. has petitioned the FAA to require all passengers to be buckled up, including children under two, who currently are exempt. The White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security has recommended that all children be properly restrained.

When Michigan does mandate restraint use, it requires the driver to secure both the child safety seat and the child properly. Michigan Enforcement Fines: Driver fined maximum $10 for child restraint violation. Driver fined $25 for safety belt violation by occupants 4 through 15. Offender fined $25 for safety belt violation if 16 and older. Other states may require a child sit in a child restraint system up to the age of 8.

Each vehicle is different so when booking please let us know the ages of your children and if a car seat is required.

Seat assignments are a positive way for the ride to be consistent and safe. It is also our policy for elementary and middle school students to be assigned to a specific seat. This aids the driver with discipline and learning each student's name at the beginning of the school year. We trust our drivers to let us know when this policy is no longer effective.

Yes, all companies charge a fee per day for this service. Child restraint seats are required by all countries for children under the age of 5 or less than 40 lbs in weight.
