LIFE IS PRECIOUS BUCKLE THEM IN

This Child Restraint Manual was developed to give background information, lesson outlines and a resource guide to aid the professionals. It also serves as a guide to those planning the organization of rental programs. The rental or loaner program concept of providing child restraints at low cost is being promoted at the community level through the services of the Ontario Safety League. A research project is underway in Kingston, Ontario to study the effects of this program in encouraging long term restraint use. Also contained in the manual are discussion points for the film "Life is Precious. Buckle Them In". This film presents a pediatrician talking about the different restraint needs at the infant, toddler and preschooler stages of the child's development. With graphic scenes of child-like dummies crashing into windshields a powerful message for restraint use is presented. The film was produced on the modular concept so that public service announcements and shortened versions for displays could be prepared from the basic footage.
