When it comes to a child's safety, something as simple as sitting in a car seat cannot be taken for granted. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports 1,638 children, ages 14 years and younger, died as occupants in motor vehicle crashes during 2004 and approximately 214,000 were injured. Of those children killed, half were unrestrained. A survey of more than 17,500 children found that only 15 percent in safety seats were correctly harnessed into properly installed seats. Community Connection for Child Care (CCCC) drew awareness to those issues in an effort to help parents by presenting a free, Back-to-School Car Seat Inspection for them on Sept. 9. It was held in the Babies R Us parking lot at 9280 Rosedale Highway in Bakersfield. Several local organizations partnered with CCCC, including State Farm Insurance, Babies R Us, California Highway Patrol, Kern County Fire and Public Health departments, Bakersfield City Police and Culligan Water.
