New Castle County Police are calling attention to an estimate that about 80% of Delaware car seats are installed incorrectly.
Key takeaways
New Castle County Police are highlighting a Delaware car-seat safety concern: approximately 80% of car seats are installed incorrectly.
The estimate focuses on installation. It does not say that 80% of Delaware children use car seats or identify a particular type of seat. It describes the share of installations that are incorrect.
Car-seat installation is a specific safety issue for Delaware families. The New Castle County Police Department has brought attention to the issue through its news information, giving parents and caregivers a reason to review how a seat is installed.
The department’s notice is the basis for the 80% figure cited here. The information available for this brief does not establish a date for the estimate, identify the organization that calculated it, or describe a statewide inspection program.
Families looking for more detail should review the police department’s notice and any primary record linked from it. The central point remains straightforward: a large majority of car seats, by the cited estimate, are not installed correctly.
