We’re Bringing Car Seat Safety Home
Every year, motor vehicle crashes remain a leading cause of death among children in the United States . In 2022 alone, 599 children aged 12 and under lost their lives, and over 106,000 were injured in car accidents . Alarmingly, 35% of those who died were not properly buckled up.
According to the study “Car Seat Safety and Usage,” nearly half of children aged 10 and under who are injured or killed in car crashes were either unrestrained or prematurely using seat belts instead of appropriate car seats. Proper use of car seats can significantly reduce the risk of fatal injury—71% for infants and 54% for toddlers—yet, it’s reported that around 73% of child safety seats or booster seats are improperly used, severely diminishing their effectiveness.
At Car Seat Momma, Inc., we are dedicated to reducing these preventable tragedies by ensuring that parents and caregivers are equipped with the knowledge and confidence to use car seats correctly. Because while we can't control other drivers, we can control the safety of our little ones within our own vehicles.
Our Car Seat Safety Story
In 2017 our President and Lead Child Passenger Safety Instructor, Jenn Christian, took her love of child safety and made it official by taking a Safe Kids Child Passenger Safety Technician course. From there Jenn participated in community events, attended every webinar she could find and created a Facebook page to spread the word of her services of private safety sessions.
During this time many clients, friends and family urged Jenn to take this hobby and turn it into a business. In 2022, Jenn launched Cape Cod Car Seat Momma as an official business and gained her Safe Travel For All Children endorsement!
While navigating the new role of a small business owner, Jenn realized that she could be accessible to more people by becoming a nonprofit. Now as a nonprofit, Car Seat Momma, Inc., we are excited to share our expertise to help reduce preventable car seat misuse - because you can't control other people on the road, but you can control the safety standards in your own car.
