Infant car seats also attracted
considerable dis6ussion.

do ' not 'provide `the protection
children need.
"In facts said Walter Reynolds;,
Ontario's Director of Safety, •
"some of the restraints are an

whole issue was critical because
every day children are treated at •
hospitals after earinjuries which
aren't caused by..eellisions but by
panic stops.
