Project Secure Our Future was made possible by funding from The Community Foundation of Monroe County*Child Passenger Safety Technicians
Project Secure Our Future provides child safety seats and education to families from our CPST* on proper installation and usage of a child safety seat.
An approved car seat is the most important piece of equipment you can have for your child’s safety.
FACTS ABOUT CAR SEATS
On average three children are killed and an estimated 487 are injured every day in the U.S. in traffic crashes.
Car seats decrease the risk of fatal injury by 71% among infants and 54% among toddlers.
Booster seats reduce the risk of nonfatal injures by 45% among four-to eight-year-old children.
Car seats are often used incorrectly. One study found that 46% of car seats were misused. Misuse increases the risk of injury or death.
