2 of the 3 Died Can You See My Errors

March 21st 2013, 6 years ago, this was my setup.

All was legal. They were in all the appropriate minimum weight and age seats.

This photo was taken 20 to 30 minutes before our collision while we were stopped for a break.

2 of the 3 died.

This is not to scare anyone. This is to show the importance of having the right seats for your children and how much the minimum laws are lax.

Can you spot my errors? I sure can now as a technician.

-Owen 3 almost 4, just above 40lbs in a low back booster. He survived by pure miracle with head injuries and a broken arm as well as some internal injuries.

-Hailie 4 almost 5 just above 40lbs in a low back booster. She did what we call the submarine effect and died on impact.

-Trent 17 months above 22lbs forward facing suffered internal spinal decapitation which killed him almost instantly.

My goal is to help parents and the population know that the minimum laws set forth by our government is not safe. And I want to try to help prevent more injuries and deaths to children.

When we know better we do better.
