One in Five Parents Bending Car Child Restraint Regulations
One in five parents of young children bend the car safety rules by allowing kids to ride without seat belts, car seats, or booster seats, says Linda Carroll of NBC News. Even more shocking is that 61% have seen other parents bending the rules when carpooling, according to a report released this week by Safe Kids Worldwide.
Funded by the General Motors Foundation, the report was based on an online survey of 1,000 parents of kids from 4-10. What is the exact number of carpooling parents who fail to use restraints? That is a statistic that would be hard to come by.
“Somewhere between 20-60% lies the truth,” said Kate Carr, president and CEO of Safe Kids Worldwide. “And for those of us who are parents, we probably will admit that on occasion we all bend the rules about something at some point.”
