Annual Child Passenger Safety Conference and Car Seat Clinic 2025
In 1933, the Bunny Bear Booster Seat was the first car seat designed to help caregivers keep an eye on their children when traveling from place to place. However, the first car seat designed with safety in mind wasn’t created until almost 30 years later by Jean Ames in 1962. This car seat, the Jeenay Car Seat, was designed to be rear-facing and had a 3-point harness system. Nine years later, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) mandated car seats must be fastened into the car by a seatbelt. By 1985, it was required by law that those transporting children use car seats during the trip.
