Survey: Parents Need the Reality About Injury Dangers to Kiddies

A national study of 1000 parents discovered that many don't know key points regarding possible safety problems for children.

Among the survey's findings: One in three parents are unaware that children can die in as little as 2 inches of water. Less than half of parents know drops are the primary cause of unintentional injuries to youngsters. And more than half underestimate the length of time children should be in a booster seat.

'Particularly in the area of car safety seat application, adult information tends to decrease as kids age,' mentioned Dr. Michael Gittelman, an er pediatrician and medical adviser to 'Get on Board with Child Safety,' a national child injury prevention initiative. 'Parents need targeted information regarding the different unintended injury risks to kiddies as they grow, from infant stage to toddlers to kids and all the way through adolescence.'

Accidental injuries are the leading cause of death for U.S. children ages 1-4 and under. 'Get on-board with Daughter or son Safety' was spearheaded by the children's brand 'Safety 1st' and the National Association of Children's Hospitals and Related Institutions.
