~ Child car. seat clinic: belts ’ em in tight

TERRACE _ People’ ‘living in
.the area covered by the Skeena
Health Unit don’t use infant and
child car seats as much as they
should, so Health Unit worker
Lynn Lalonde, with help from.
“ ICBC, decided to raise the aware-
. ness of motoring parents in the
Terrace area,

Last Saturday Lalonde and other
Health Unit personnel, backed up
by Thornhill Junior Secondary
CounterAttack students, offered a

free clinic to show people how to |

secure their kids safely in a mov-
ing vehicle. The clinic, held at the
Terrace ICBC claims office on
Highway 16, checked 35 cars and
pickup trucks.

Statistics show that car seat use
_ in the Skeena region is about 10
percent lower than the provincial
average, In view of that, Lalonde
said Saturday’s turnout of con-
cemed parents was higher than she
expected. Of the 35 seats checked

in the clinic, about 40 percent of |

them were not correctly installed.

The installation is important for
the child’s safety, she said. Parents
seem to have particular problems
with the child safety seat, the
model designed for kids weighing
between 20 and 40 pounds. The
belts holding the seat in place have
to be bolted into the frame of the
car like the factory-installed seat
belts, a fact that many parents who
buy them don’t realize.

The Terrace area group did well,
Lalonde said, with only two seats
‘that’ didn't comply with regula-
tions. The biggest problems were
seats lacking chest clips and lack

of proper adjustment, with the belt

not firmly holding the child.
Death in automobile accidents is
the single biggest killer of Cana-
dian children. ICBC statistics show
that 40 infants were killed and

over 2,000 injured in B.C. traffic
accidents during the two- year
period from 1981 to 1983. Un-
restrained children themselves are
often the cause of the accidents:
over a five-year period in B.C. 554
collisions were directly caused by
kids roaming around inside the
vehicle.

Anyone who missed the Saturday
_ Clinic can pick up information on
correct installation and use of car
seats from the Skeena Health Unit.
Lalonde gave the Terrace Co-op
part of the credit for the success of
the clinic. They provided car seats
for the organizers’ training session
and donated the door prize, a
Fisher-Price infant carrier won by
Thornhill ‘resident .Shirley Pala-

hicky.

If you don’t know
what’s going on,
things go on
without you.
