Where can i find pictures of unrestrained kids in cars, and the outcome of crashes with unrestrained kids?

Question

I need to find pictures of this as I have a friend who never restrains herself or her kids in the car. I have tried to look for, but can never find pictures or footage that shows what happens to unrestrained mothers and kids in car accidents. She's been lucky so far, and has not been in a smash to find out for herself. I refuse to drive her anywhere now as she will never restrain her kids, and all I can visualize is a small crash, then having to watching her and her kids going into and through the windscreen, especially her 5 month old who sits in her lap on every trip that she takes, whilst she is unrestrained herself

Answer 1

I know of a father who took his motorcycle-wanting son to a police station and asked the officers for information on the risks of motorcycles. They had a photo album, and they showed it to the son. He didn't want a motorcycle after that.

So you could try asking local law enforcement or accident investigators. A car seat manufacturer might be able to help you, too. A problem could be that these are pictures of someone's kids. Most parents would not want such pictures released to the public. On the flip side, though, there is perhaps somewhere a parent who didn't use car seats, and wants the whole world to see what can happen, to prevent it from happening to others.

Is there any chance your friend cannot afford a car seat? (She may be able to get a subsidized one). Is she overweight or especially short and a regular seatbelt doesn't fit her? (There should be a solution available from the car manufacturer for that, too).

Good for you for refusing to carry passengers who don't wear their seatbelts.
