The supervision on the use of restraint in transporting children, would start to be made on June 9, starts next Wednesday, 1st September. The lack of "seats", especially in big cities like São Paulo, justified the postponement.
   
Despite the postponement, the rules still apply. Resolution 277, which addresses the issue, sought to establish minimum conditions of safety for transporting children under the age of ten years, seeking to accustom the population to the use of restraint and thus reduce risk in cases of collisions or sudden deceleration.
   
In Brazil, traffic accidents are still the leading cause of death in children between 1 and 14 years of age. According to the Ministry of Health, 40% of deaths in this age group are related to traffic accidents. The statistics also shows that for every death, four other children are left with permanent sequelae. Among the accidents are the pedestrians, children and cyclists on the condition of passenger vehicles. The good news is that American studies indicate that 71% of these injuries can be prevented with the simple use of restraint during transportation of children.
   
The use of seat belts is not enough to ensure they are protected, because it was designed for people with at least 1.45 meters. Restraints known as baby-comfort seat, seat lift and seat belt dramatically reduces the chances of injuries and deaths of children in cases of collision.
   
Each retaining device has a specific form of installation. So it is important to follow the instructions in the manual baby-comfort, the seat and seat lift. The vehicles also bring in their manuals specifications on installing restraints. It is important to read and follow the directions. Another key step is to verify that the equipment has the certification seal Brazilian Security Standards (INMETRO seal).
For devices imported, it should be noted that the quality certificate should come translated into Portuguese.
