National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)-sponsored National Child Passenger Safety Week (September 12-18, 2009) was a huge success.
Ford of Ocala, a leading dealership for new and used Ford cars in Ocala, Florida, is pleased to inform that a number of parents and caretakers got their safety seats checked at thousands of free safety seat inspection stations during the week. Trained child seat inspectors verified the seats and helped in the installation of the child seat free of charge. Also, English- and Spanish-speaking child passenger safety technicians answered the queries on children's safety.
Research shows that though there is a high use of child safety seats nationwide, a majority of children are not properly secured. Children aged 2-14 die in automobile crashes due to nonuse or improper use of child seats and seat belts. The research also indicates that three out of every four seats are used incorrectly. Therefore the National Child Passenger Safety Week was organized to help promote, enhance, and enforce child passenger safety. In every car, the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) consists of lower attachments on child seats and a set of tether anchors in the vehicle to hold the child seat in place without the use of the vehicle's seat belts.
Ford of Ocala cares for complete safety of all passengers including children and is proud to stock and sell highly safe and secure Ford vehicles. Contact the dealership for more details on safety.
