Toyota Launches Child Passenger Safety Campaign

Toyota works very hard on making its vehicles as safe as it possibly can, and various groups have recognized us for this.  There is only so much the safety enhancements can accomplish though however if the drivers do not properly educate themselves and follow the instructions.  One of the most overwhelming and unfortunate examples of this can be seen in the statistics regarding a child’s car seat.  In the United States, three out of every four children car seats is installed improperly.  This is a statistic that we cannot afford to let continue.  So if you have a young family to think about when you come to Schaumburg Toyota make sure you take a look at one of our vehicles that make sense for a growing family, like the 2013 Toyota Sienna, but also make sure to take every safety precaution possible to keep your children as safe as you possibly can.

In addition to making sure you have a car seat for your child, you have to make sure it is installed correctly.  Half of all children in fatal crashes are unrestrained.  This statistic is unnerving and Toyota is trying to change it by launching a new campaign aimed at educating the public on the proper use of child car seats.  Please go to www.causes.com/toyota to learn all you can, and pass it on.  Combining a safe Toyota vehicle, safe driving, and properly installing your child’s car seat is as good of strategy as any to keep your family safe.
