Child Thrown From Vehicle in Car Accident a Reality Check for Kansas City Parents; Buckle Your Child Properly

Being involved in a car accident can be scary and they usually happen when you least expect it.  If you have passengers in your vehicle, the first thing you tend to do is to make sure everyone is okay.  That can be especially scary when you have children in your car.  Questions run through your head, starting with, "Was everyone buckled?"

Making sure your child is properly buckled and secured should be the first thing you do when you get into a vehicle with them.  The consequences of not buckling can be dangerous.

An accident on Tuesday evening in Kansas City, Missouri is a good example of what can go wrong when your child isn't buckled.  An 11 month-old child was thrown from a vehicle after it lost control, hit a tree and crashed in a parking lot near 39th and Kensington.  The child suffered some road rash and was hospitalized but is expected to be okay.  Another child, a 5 year-old, was also injured, as was an adult male passenger.
