A child safety solution at last

This article considers the incorrect use of child restraints and the effect of this on child injury rates from motor vehicle crashes. Although parents are often to blame for installing car seats incorrectly, when one considers that no two children are the same, that very few cars are the same in design (ie. make, model, year) and that there are more than 100 different models of car seat available it is no wonder there are problems for parents associated with correct car seat use. The most common error seems to be in fitting the seat to the car. An international standard (ISOFIX) has been developed and adopted by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This new child seat system minimizes the challenge of properly fastening the seat to the car.
