Safe Transportation Consultation


National studies have found that as many as four out of five child restraint devices are installed or used incorrectly. Proper installation and use of car seats is extremely effective in saving children's lives and reducing the risk of injury. However, many factors interfere with the safe and effective use of restraint devices, even in the population of normally developing children.

Children with disabilities have unique positioning needs that are not always addressed with traditional child restraint devices. Many of these children are improperly restrained while riding in their family's car and even on their school bus. Educating parents and professionals regarding options for safe transportation of children with disabilities helps to improve children's health and well being.
