Are airbags really safe?

 

That sounds terrific but, children are head level with the straight force when the airbag shoots out of the dashboard. Also an adult parent might have heard that the use of a rear facing child restraint in the front seat of car to prevent injury. However in a crash, an infant in a rear facing restraint could be killed just as easily, still by the explosive force of the airbag (Roberts). .
             Another possible way of making children car travel safer is to change the internal harness system in the vehicle. The harness system serves a different function when used in the rear-facing versus the forward-facing position (Bull). The rear-facing harness position (lower slots) holds the child in the seat while the harnesses in the forward-facing position (upper slots) holds the child in position and also serve to spread the forces of a crash over the part of the seat that is engineered to withstand them (Bull). When the seat is turned face forward, the shoulder harnesses must be moved so that they are at or above the child's shoulders and threaded through the highest harness slots that are over a reinforced part of the seat back (Bull). This adjustment is very important because straps in the lower slots in most seats are not routed over the reinforced portion of the seat back (Bull). The reinforcement in the upper slots, however, will tolerate the force of a crash (Bull). These are some ways that will help children survive just from the seatbelts help. .
             More child seatbelt safety rules to be regulated would be the reassurance of the child safety seat is installed correctly. Too many of these safety seats are installed incorrectly. For instance the seats should not move away from the seat back or move side to side more than an inch. Far too many parents decide to put the safety seat in themselves rather then having a professional install the safety seat and they definitely break the rules of the one inch margin.
