Under Florida law, it is unlawful for any person to operate a motor vehicle unless each passenger of the vehicle under the age of 18 years old is restrained by a safety belt or child restraint device. Additionally, children 3 and under must be secured in a federally approved child restraint seat. However, there is no purpose in using a child safety seat if it is not effective or safe, and does not protect the child from an injury during a collision.
All child car seats must meet the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for product safety. The U.S. Consumer Product safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the uses of defective consumer products. The CPSC has reported several child safety seat recalls for failure to meet the standard federal guidelines. Child restraint systems that fail to meet the federal standards put children at risk of injury or death.
In a cause of action for injury due to a defective or malfunctioning child safety seat may be proven by direct or circumstantial evidence. However, design defects, in products liability actions, must be proven by expert testimony.
