Webinar

Child Restraint Systems – Handling Used or Expired Products Responsibly, Sustainably, and Ethically

Monday, February 10, 2025

2:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. CT

Description

Child restraint systems (CRS) are essential products which protect children in crashes. Unfortunately, many of these products end up in the landfill after a short lifespan. Our expert speakers will discuss some considerations and challenges related to handling CRS responsibly and sustainably, especially through the lens of global equity. Attendees will learn how a sample of used and expired CRS performed in dynamic crash tests and the implications of this research. We will also examine how CRS manufacturers approach their responsibility of environmental sustainability. This webinar is targeted toward traffic safety professionals who are interested in exploring these challenges from a multi-faceted approach with a focus on CPS support for the lower-income country.
