2020 Acura MDX is our Safety Pick!

This week is Child Passenger Safety Week and we want to help educate you on how to best make sure your children are safe while riding in the car. Every 32 seconds in 2018, one child under the age of 13 in a passenger vehicle was involved in a crash. Many times, injuries and deaths can be prevented by proper use of car seats, boosters, and seat belts. Nearly half of all car seats are installed incorrectly, which means that even your child may not be traveling as safely as possible. Your goal should be to make sure your child is in the correct car seat, then ensure that it is installed and used properly. You should also make sure that it is registered with its manufacturer to ensure you receive important safety updates. 

NHTSA is an amazing resource when it comes to child passenger safety. Whether you’re buying your child’s first car seat, deciding whether to let your kids walk to school or take the bus, handing the car keys to your teenager, looking for adaptive equipment for a disabled driver, or you’re concerned about your older parent’s ability to drive, they are available to answer your questions. If you have a car seat in your vehicle, you can visit a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician in your community to double-check that it’s correctly installed and that you’re using it correctly. You can also utilize this simple search tool to find a car seat inspection station near you. Link: https://www.nhtsa.gov/equipment/car-seats-and-booster-seats.

It’s our quest to create a zero-collision society with cars and SUVs that make the roads a safer place for everyone. Our unrelenting mission to help keep you safe inspires technologies as innovative as they are effective. This is why Acura has developed the Acura Collision Mitigation Braking System that can alert you to obstacles detected ahead. Using both radar and camera, it’s programmed to provide visual alerts when it determines a crash is possible and if you don’t react, it can automatically brake for you.
