Think your kids are safe buckled in car? Think again!

Science - Health

New research by researchers from the Yale School of Medicine studied children as young as one year of age and their use of car safety seats. What they found might surprise you. However, it might scare you more.


Dr. Lilia B. Reyes, who works in pediatric emergency medicine at the Yale School of Medicine (New Haven, Connecticut), is one of the researchers of this study.

The results of the study were presented at the annual meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS, held in Denver, Colorado).

What they found was that children four years and older were able to unbuckle themselves from car safety seats.

And, some of them were able to unbuckle themselves as young as one year old. Yes, 1 year old!

Dr. Reyes explains, 'We found that children can unbuckle from their child car safety seats by their fourth birthday, and there is an alarming 43% who do so when the car is in motion. It was reported as early as 12 months."

This quote was found in the May 2, 2011 WebMD article 'Young Kids May Be Able to Unbuckle Car Seats.'
