Safety in the car!

I talk with parents and children daily and cannot believe how many parents allow their children to sit in the front seat despite the recommendations that have been around for decades. As I watched this news clip, I was amazed that it wasn’t said, “If he had been in the back seat as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, this would not have happened.”

I don’t mean to be insensitive, but ‘Who’s the parent?’ It is our job to ensure our child’s health, safety and well being. Do what’s right, not what’s popular.
