I was just watching one of the cable news shows (can't remember which one) and the health tip of the week was to make sure you install your child seat in the center of your car. The doctor said that there was a newly released study showing that a child is 46% more likely to be injured in a crash on the side rather than the center.
My humble opinion about this recommendation is that it is not truly helpful. He should have mentioned that the least protected child should go in the center. What if you have more than one child.... he didn't arm parents with info they can use at that point. I think that most people think that a newborn is least protected b/c they are the smallest... but we know this is not really true. WIth the info he gave, when you have more than one child, you just have to pick which child you love most (obviously you don't love one more than another).. and put them in the middle. I wish his recommendation had been to take your car seat manual, READ it and then make sure your seat is installed and used properly.
Anyway else see this segment... thoughts?
