GUNNISON Child car restraint checkpoint to be held By John Hales GUNNISON—The Central Utah Chapter of Safe Kids is conducting a child car restraint checkpoint at Gunnison Market from 3-6 p.m. on Thursday, April 14. According to information from the National Safe Kids Campaign, a national nonprofit organization dedicated solely to the prevention of unintentional childhood injury, 96 percent of parents believe they install and use child safety seats correctly. However, Safe Kids also estimates that only 14 percent of safety seats are correctly installed and used. Improperly restrained children are nearly three-and-a-half times more likely to be seriously injured than properly restrained children, according to Safe Kids. Proper use of child safety seats, according to Safe Kids, can reduce the risk of death for infants involved in auto crashes by 71 percent and reduce the risk by 54 percent for children ages 1-4. Utah State law requires children age 4 and under to be restrained in a safety seat while in a moving vehicle.
