Shopping carefully for
toddler's car seats is one of the
issues to be discussed at a
program entitled "Safety Tips
for Tots in Automobiles" to be
held Wednesday, November 17th
at the PUi) Auditorium in
Shelt(m from 2:00-.t:30 p.m. or
7:30-9:00 p.m.
Although federal safety
standards for children's car seats
have been in effect since last
April, parental caution before
buying one is a good idea, Linda
l)eMiero, County Extension
Agent says.
"The standards wet'E
promptt~l by test findings that
some of the children's car seats
would not even provide a
nmmnum of protection against
ct)lllsion o~ a sudden stop. The
problem now is that some of the
inadequate car seats still may be
on the market", she says.
The Federal Trade
Commission says to check the
date of manufacture stamped on
ing
the label. The presence of the
date is mandatory under the new
standards, if the date is April
1971 or later, the commission

says, the consumer can be
reasonably sure he is buying a seat
that complies with the standard
for impact protection.
"Parents who are planning to
buy a new car, as well as a car seat
for a child, also may find an
interesting fact in the results of a
survey conducted by Physicians
for Automotive Safety," says Mrs.
DeMiero.
Although two major
automobile manufacturers have
developed effective child safety
seating systems, the survey
reported that neither company
has been able to stimulate its
new-ear dealezs,to promote the
~tf~y cat seats for national use.
Two other car manufacturers have
shown no interest in either the
development or distribution of
any effective child safety systems,
she noted.
The program is sponsored by
the Mason County Cooperative
Extension Service, the
Washington State Patrol and the
