Precious Cargo

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death and injury for American children, ranking ahead of all other types of unintentional injuries, and claiming more lives than any childhood disease.

If left unrestrained, infants and children are thrown around the vehicle like flying missiles. In a 30-mph crash, children may be thrown forward with a force equal to 30 times their own weight, (i.e., 10 lb. infant x 30 mph = 300 lbs of force.) That's like falling from a three-story building!
