Editing Motorists Get Pulled Up For Child Safety Seat Violations

Authorities and Police are coming together to assist moms and dads get it right for the sake of many susceptible children being caught up in traffic accidents, or by being burned by the seat itself


KimaTV has reported that hundreds of drivers are stopped in the Yakima and Sunnyside districts every year for being suspected of not buckling up their children properly. The figure is in fact less than 2014, though it's still an issue that needs to be dealt with, according to regional authorities, who say that officers are on the watch for lawbreakers, with hundreds of regional moms and dads not restraining their children or who are permitting them to sit in the front seat, while still under age.

Washington State Patrol Officer, Sarah Clasen, says that she has pulled up over a dozen drivers daily. She says... "A lot of parents think, well, I'm an excellent motorist, but there's a lot of truly bad drivers around you that you think you'd wish to secure your children from." The regional authorities have validated that Troopers pulled over 483 drivers suspected of infant restraint infractions in 2014 in Yakima and Sunnyside patrol districts, though these number's are less than the more than 600, documented in 2014.

According to KimaTV, the thing the numbers don't reveal, is that there are a lot more children than the total examinations carried out. Clasen recalled her worst case situation, stating... "There were about 6 children on the rear seat, on the back bench, with children sitting on kids laps, not a single seat belt on among them, and they were all most likely under  8. A lot of parents just forget since their kid is not in a booster seat, but that does not suggest they can still ride in the front of the car."

Yakima Police Department Neighborhood Services Officer and Child Passenger Safety Technician Amy Hayes, says that any parent expecting a baby or any vehicle driver that has gotten a ticket for not properly making use of a vehicle safety seat, should call them and enable them to check out their safety seats." She added... "If you cannot manage the cost of a safety seat, you're expecting, and also on Medicaid, then help may be on offer, as some may qualify for a free vehicle safety seat through the Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic First Steps Program."

Further afield, and Walb news has reported that Dawson Police are hosting safety seat safety workshops, with cops wanting to see to it moms and dads are using their car seats correctly. The report has validated that they hosted a safety seat safety workshop for households at their precinct, where they discussed the significance of restraining kids in safety seats in the case of a crash, and revealed to moms and dads how to correctly set up a safety seat. Officer Sunny Wallace, spokesperson for the Dawson Police department, stated... "The law says a kid needs to be rear faced up until a minimum of one year of age, or weighing twenty pounds, but we do encourage a minimum of 2 years old, as it's five times safer to keep them rear faced till that age." Officer Wallace has likewise encouraged moms and dads to keep their kids in a 5 point harness safety seat, and a booster seat till they have the ability to fit into an adult seat belt.

News concerning vehicle safety seats has also come to light about the threats of seats overheating when left under direct sunshine, which can then trigger terrible burns and scolding to their young travelers. A current Japanese research study discovered that a safety seat can reach temperatures of as much as 150 degrees centigrade when exposed to direct sunshine, and recommend that moms and dads needed to use a safety seat sunshade to secure the safety seat when it came to being left exposed to the heat of the sun.
