Mom’s Devastating Facebook Post Shows Why Car Seat Safety Matters
Car seat safety can be a frustrating topic for many parents, but it’s an significant one.
A latest report published in The Journal of Pediatrics displayed that forty three percent of kids killed in car accidents aren’t decently restrained.
On May 29, Christine Miller of the vlog Growing Humans collective a devastating story that underscores the importance of child passenger safety.
Miller’s son Kyle died in a car accident twelve years ago to the day at the age of Trio. The mom believes that her son may have survived if he had been decently restrained in a car seat with a five-point corset instead of in a booster seat.
In a post that appeared on the car seat safety Facebook page Car Seat Consultants, Miller wrote:
“Losing Kyle was like being plunged straight into hell, a anguish and agony beyond description . I’ve come to realize that this kind of loss is not something you ever get over or make peace with, it’s something you eventually learn how to contain in a box of fire inwards your heart, and keep a lid on so that you can function on a day to day basis. But sometimes certain things will open that box, a song, a smell, a flash of a memory and it rages and burns through you anew. It’s a ache I will carry with me until the day I die and can eventually be with my sweet son again. I think the hardest part of it all is knowing [how] lightly preventable it was. That’s the dagger that twists in my heart.”
Miller said she wished someone had warned her about the dangers of using booster seats rather than five-point corset car seats for toddlers.
“It would have saved his life. It [would] have saved me from going through hell. I would have had the past twelve years of memories with my beautiful boy, instead of twelve years of distress and agony,” she wrote.
That’s why the mom has made it her life’s mission to prevent similar tragedies. Miller collective a movie about Kyle’s story to raise awareness around child passenger safety.
“Car accidents are the #1 killer of children, and statistics display that 80-90% of car seats are installed or used incorrectly!” the mom wrote. “ We attempt to protect our kids from everything from pesticides, GMOs, acute furniture corners and cancer, but then buckle them into unsafe car seats. This needs to switch.”
At the end of her post, Miller encouraged people who have youthfull kids or know someone with youthful kids to research decent car seat usage and share their skill with others.
“I’ve lost friends and family members because they were offended that I pointed out their incorrect car seat usage. But to say nothing and have another child’s death on my conscience is not something I’m willing to risk,” she explained, adding, “Children’s lives are more significant than parents’ egos.”
Miller wants others to share Kyle’s story and her message about car seat safety. The Facebook post had been collective almost Five,000 times and reached over Two,000 likes as of Monday.
The mom’s post originally appeared on the Facebook page for the Kyle David Miller Foundation ― a nonprofit organization the family embarked to raise awareness and suggest support for parents when it comes to decent car seat usage.
For Miller, the issue is very straightforward. As she concluded in her post, “Car seat safety is not a ‘parenting choice,’ it’s a matter of physics and facts.”
