It is primarily for this reason that the Jaycettes established established the Buckle Up Baby program which encourages encourages parents to use proper child car restraints from the outset. The project, which has been operating in this area for over four years and has serviced over 420 mothers to date, is being nationally celebrated February 18th- 22nd through a Buckle Up Baby awareness week. In order to draw public attention attention to this beneficial program, volunteers throughout the country will be setting up various displays displays in local malls and community centres. Here they will answer any questions questions regarding the effectiveness effectiveness of baby seats and demonstrate their proper use. Bowmanville Jaycettes created the program in order to make available the highly-rated G.M. "Loveseat" to mothers with new-borns. Although most people are aware of the need for proper car restraints, for many the extra cash outlay for a good quality infant seat is too much; particularly particularly at a time when baby requires so many other necessities. But this is a necessity that cannot be overlooked. Mothers rent the infant carrier from the Jaycettes on a seven month basis. It is is designed to comfortably comfortably accommodate babies weighing up to 20 pounds. The cost of renting is inexpensive inexpensive at only $15 for the whole term, with a mere $5 deposit. This is a great help for young families who would otherwise pay anywhere from $50 to $60 for a brand new baby seat. "The Loveseats can not only be used for transporting transporting the baby in the car, but many mothers find it handy to sit their child in it while shopping, feeding, or visiting," visiting," explained Phyllis VanEgmond, Chairperson of Buckle Up Baby. Phyllis went on to explain that these seats have saved the life of many infants because because of their secure hold and cushioned design. However, many people who do use the infant carrier, carrier, or even the toddler seats, often neglect to properly properly strap the child in. This can present as much danger to a baby as not using a seat at all. Even at a low speed of 20 or 30 mph a crash can be extremely extremely dangerous -- it can be fatal. While much of the impact is absorbed by the front of the car, the vehicle stops in a fraction of a second. second. Unrestrained passengers, passengers, however, continue at a speed of 20 mph until they slam forward into whàtever is in front of them. This, along with the knowledge that over 75 per cent of parents don't use child car seats properly, has prompted the Jaycettes to focus their attention also on briefing the public on the importance of using the seats correctly.
