CDOT’s recent data reveals alarming trends in Colorado regarding child car seat safety. A staggering 78% of parents in the state are found to be improperly installing or not following correct protocols for their child’s car seat, marking an 8% increase since 2022. Common issues include loose harnesses, incorrect harness placement, and using improper car seats for children’s ages and sizes, especially concerning for infants under one year old. CDOT emphasizes the importance of caregivers meticulously following each car seat’s manual to ensure proper installation and fit, especially during the summer months when multiple caretakers may be involved.
