Car Seat Helper
The Center for Family Health and Safety at Phoenix Children's Hospital has developed the "Car Seat Helper" mobile app, which provides an easy way to choose and recommend the right car seat for a child. The app follows the guidelines published by the American Academy of Pediatrics and is a valuable resource for parents, healthcare professionals, and caregivers. By selecting the appropriate seat based on age, height, and weight, the app significantly reduces the risk of injury or death in motor vehicle crashes. Additionally, the app offers information on different types of car seats and local resources for learning how to properly install them. The app also includes a Spanish translation feature, allowing users to switch between English and Spanish. Notably, the app provides access to official videos from the NHTSA, as well as helpful terms and definitions. The Center for Family Health and Safety at Phoenix Children's Hospital aims to promote safe and healthy children, families, and communities by utilizing research and implementing best practices. They offer various services, including child passenger safety, bicycle and pedestrian safety, water safety, home safety, and strengthening families/child abuse prevention. The development of the app was carried out by MediaKube, a company specializing in creative digital media solutions for businesses and organizations.
