12 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 9,1983 New Car Seat Law in Effect Section Two Small children are particularly particularly vulnerable in a car, especially in a sudden stop or crash. And who hasn't seen cars whizzing by with youngsters standing on the seat, hanging hanging out the window or lying on the back window shelf. Well, on Nov. 1 these potentially potentially dangerous situations situations should be greatly curtailed curtailed as some 90,000 toddlers now travelling unrestrained unrestrained in a motor vehicle, vehicle, are required by Ontario law to be placed in car seats designed to hold them safely and securely. From that date, toddlers between 9 and 18 kg (20 - 40 lbs.) must be in an appropriate, appropriate, approved car seat while travelling in their parents' or legal guardian's car - or in a lap belt if in someone else's car. They must be restrained in a front-facing seat, preferably preferably in the back of the car, with the harness straps done up and the seat secured secured by a lap belt and tether strap. The tether strap is particularly particularly important because because it prevents the seat from pitching forward or sideways in a sudden stop or crash. It requires a bolt to be securely fastened into the back window shelf or floor, directly behind the child seat. ! For parents looking for a car seat, there are different kinds available in a variety Save-A-Life Week is November 7-12 ' In its first year of operation, operation, Durham Save-A-Heart expects to teach the lifesaving lifesaving skills of Cardio Pulmonary Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) to 5,000. , : That's just the first year's goal, members of Durham's ..regional council were told last Wednesday, October 26. The following year, the 'target is 10,000 trained in CPR. The ultimate objective is to have one out of every five citizens of the Durham Region Region trained in CPR techniques, said Penny Eas- thope, co-ordinator of Durham Save-A-Heart. She added that the purpose purpose of this agency is to coordinate coordinate all training in Car- . dio Pulmonary Resuscitation Resuscitation now occurring in the Durham Region. Durham Save-A-Heart will work with groups already offering offering qualified instruction in this technique. In areas where CPR courses aren't available, the organization will initiate programs. One goal is to make training materials materials and supplies available available at a central location, while dispersing CPR instructional instructional programs as widely as possible. Fees for the program are $15 for basic, five-hour heart-saving classes, while the complete program in basic rescue lasts 12 hours and costs $30. "We have to be willing to take the program to somebody's somebody's basement or a church hall," explained the co-ordinator. In addition to teaching a manual life-saving skill, CPR instruction also emphasizes emphasizes general facts about heart disease and how it can be avoided. In describing the need for the general public to become become aware of Cardio Pulmonary Pulmonary Resuscitation, Heather Metcalfe, chairperson chairperson for Durham Save-A- Heart, told regional council that heart disease causes 80,000 deaths in Canada annually annually and she described the illness as an epidemic. She pointed out that the care provided during the first few minutes of a heart attack are crucial. "More than 60 per cent of the people who die from heart- related disease die before they get to hospital," she said. CPR is designed to provide the victim with oxygen oxygen until he can be taken to hospital or until professional professional medical help arrives. The official opening of Durham Save-A-Heart Week will be November 10 at the Oshawa Centre, with Durham's Regional Chairman, Chairman, Gary Hervema, on hand to kick off the event. Durham's regional council council has agreed to designate November 7 to 12 as Save-A- Heart Week. of stores and all meet federal federal standards. It's particularly important important to look for an approved car seat since other seats designed for use in the home are often available in the same location in a store. However, such seats which are usually cheaper than a car seat, are not. designed designed as car seats and do not provide the necessary protection. Because of the variety of seats available, the appropriate appropriate one can only be chosen chosen by parents after careful consideration as to which best suits them and their child. For example, the seat must fit easily into the car and the harness buckle must be convenient to do up and undo. If the buckle is a struggle, parents may not take the time to buckle their child in properly. Seats also come in a variety variety of widths and heights so it's well to remember youngsters spend many months in bulky snowsuits and choose accordingly. Choosing an appropriate seat is important, but equally important is following following the manufacturer's instructions instructions as to installation and use. Lives have been lost because these seats have not been used properly. properly. The facts speak for themselves. themselves. An 18-month old child was killed instantly when thrown from a car in an accident. accident. Mute testimony to what might have been had he been properly buckled in, was the seat which remained, remained, intact and undamaged, undamaged, in the car. In another case, a 22- month old child died of severe severe head injuries - in spite of being securely strapped in the proper seat. An investigation investigation revealed the seat was not secured to the car by either a lap belt or a tether strap. These are examples of cases where children have been killed and do not reflect reflect the tragedy of those who have been severely injured injured or maimed for life. Perhaps the saddest fact is that small children are particularly prone to head injuries and can be left , brain damaged and helpless helpless for life after a car accident. accident. In 1982,10 children under four years of age were killed killed in Ontario traffic accidents accidents and 1,324 were injured. injured. Even though the law covering infant restraints only went into effect on Nov. 1, 1982, these figures are considerably better than corresponding figures for 1981 when 20 were killed and 1,595 were injured. Hopefully, as parents comply with the law which now requires all children to be properly restrained, these figures will improve even more, and the heartbreak and suffering hidden in such stark statistics statistics will be greatly lessened. lessened. The Ontario law regarding regarding car seats was introduced introduced in two stages: first for the newborn and preschooler preschooler on Nov. 1,1982 and now for the toddler. This was done to allow parents, with several small children, time to absorb the cost of outfitting their youngsters with the appropriate appropriate car seats. Thus, for almost a year now, infants up to 9 kg (20 lbs.) have been required to travel at all times in a rearfacing rearfacing infant carrier or the infant position of a convertible convertible seat designed for both infants and toddlers. Infants must be fastened into their seat using the total harness strap and the seat must be securely anchored anchored by a lap belt. And preschoolers, between between 18 and 23 kg (40 to 50 lbs.), must be secured by a lap belt. If they prefer to be raised so they can see out the window, preschoolers have the option of using a properly buckled up booster booster seat. Drivers are responsible for ensuring children up to 16 years of age are either in an appropriate child seator properly buckled up in lap belts or full scat belts. Older teenagers and adults are responsible for buckling buckling themselves in. Now everyone from newborns newborns to senior citizens is covered by Ontario's child restraint and scat belt laws.
