Rivian shares car seat safety tips from child passenger safety expert
Rivian is committed to providing vehicles that not only offer exceptional performance and comfort but also prioritize the safety of every passenger. Child Passenger Safety Week serves as a poignant reminder of the paramount importance of ensuring the safety of children on the road.
Safety Built-In
Rivian's dedication to safety is evident in every aspect of its vehicle design. From the initial sketches to the final assembly, the company meticulously considers the well-being of drivers and passengers. This intense focus on safety, combined with advanced engineering and technology, has resulted in vehicles that consistently receive top safety ratings from agencies like the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Over-the-air software updates further ensure that Rivians only get safer over time.
Consumer Insights and Safety Priorities
A recent study conducted by Rivian and Harris poll revealed that parents prioritize safety above all else when considering a vehicle purchase or lease. While busy lifestyles may sometimes lead to shortcuts, it's crucial to remember that even minor oversights can have significant consequences. To address this, and to celebrate Child Passenger Safety Awareness Week, Rivian has partnered with certified child passenger safety technician Michelle Pratt to provide essential tips for ensuring proper car seat usage.
Essential Car Seat Safety Tips
- Remove bulky outerwear: Always ensure your child is securely harnessed without a puffy winter coat.
- Maintain proper recline: For newborns, ensure the car seat is reclined at the appropriate angle to protect their airways.
- Secure the chest clip: Position the chest clip at armpit level for optimal safety.
- Rear-facing until ready: Keep your child rear-facing until they meet the height, weight, or head height limit of their car seat.
- Consult the manual: Always refer to your specific car seat manual for accurate instructions.
