In this, one in a series of ar-
ticles contributed by the Terrace
Child Development Centre,
some hints on how to ensure a
safer environment for children
as they grow up. The centre in-
vites phone. calls from any
Parents with concerns or ques-
tions about their child’s
development. The number is
635-9388,

_ More Canadian children will
die in car accidents this year
than from any other injury.
And, one of the most dangerous
situations a child can be expos-
ed to is the short everyday trip
to visit a friend or to the corner
store.

In a car accident there are ac-
tually two kinds of collisions:
the car's collision, when it hits
something, and the ‘human col-
lision’, when a child hits parts
of the car, other passengers or is
flung from the vehicle.

It is the human collision that
causes injury or death. An
unrestrained child continues to

move -forward -at the car's -

original. speed once the car has:
come to. a stop,

The force of the impact is
tremendous, even at low speeds
of 15 kph or less. If death
doesn’t occur, severe disabling
injuries and ‘disfigurement is
often the result.

4.50, restrain your child on
every. trip, however short or
routine. This applies to children
of all ages, even a newborn in-
fant. Holding an infant in your
arms will not prevent injury as
your own body weight could
crush the infant against the
dashboard even if you are
belted in yourself. It is impossi-
ble to hold onto an infant when
a sudden impact occurs.

‘SAFE NOT
SORRY

"A goad rule to follow is:
Everyone rides buckled up or
the car doesn’t go!

Use the right seat for the age
and size of your child. Babies
need an infant seat. Not only
will your baby be secure, but,
the seat gives your baby the
comfort and support needed to
travel happily. You can give
your full attention to driving
and not worry about the baby
falling and being hurt.

Make sure that the seat is in-
stalled correctly according to in-
structions. Hospitals and com-
munity groups are now working
together to make ‘the first ride
a safe ride”. Infant seats are
available for a small rental fee

in many Canadian” com- *

munities.

Next time you get into a car
with a child make sure the child
restraint seats are properly in-
stalled and that your small
Passengers are securely belted
into the seats and then buckle
up yourself! An inured adult
may not be able io help a
frightened child should an acci-
dent occur.
