- Title
Buckle Up to Save Lives.
- Abstract
This article discusses various issues related to how to prevent car accidents, with specific reference to the safety of children. While car accidents can be dangerous for all passengers, small children are especially at risk. The weight of the head of a child makes the neck much more vulnerable to injury. The infant has little control in the muscles of the neck, and the head can bounce from side to side and fall forward, which can cause serious spine and neck injuries. The article further focuses on recommendations which consider children's safety in car and use of seat belts.
