The National Transportation Safety Board is calling on Florida and 20 other states to toughen their child passenger safety laws. The NTSB wants child restraint laws to cover kids up to 8.
Florida, "with the most lenient child passenger safety law in the nation," the NTSB says, only requires child safety seats for children age 3 years or younger. Other states go up to 4, 5 and 6.
Tougher laws are "critical if we are serious about keeping our youngest travelers safe on the roadways," said board chair Deborah Hersman.
Hi, a blog post we just published would be great to share with your readers. The National Transportation Safety Board held a discussion panel in December about child safety. Cspan recorded it and posted the two hour video on its website.
The video is on our blog to watch but we summarized the contents about accomplishments over the past 20 years and goals for the future. The post is at http://floridabraininjurylaw.com/auto-accident/proper-child-restraints-help-prevent-brain-injury-during-florida-car-accidents.
