Unfortunately, the number of children’s deaths involving cars is on the increase. The U.S. government and child car safety supporter are urging Congress to pass more laws to ensure that children are safe when in or around all vehicles. The new bill will help to decrease the number of children’s injuries and deaths in non-traffic accidents only. These incidents include children being run over by a vehicle, strangulation from power windows, or accidental deaths caused by a vehicle knocked into motion. Improvements to power windows to prevent possible strangulation, new technology involving detecting views for drivers, and other preventive steps to insure that these accidents or deaths do not occur. This bill is a start of many steps to address all causes of auto-related deaths and injuries among children to prevent them from ever happening to them.
Children should not have to die because of car accidents whether in the car or around one. These incidents are preventable if Congress acts upon this issue by passing a bill. I feel that more should be done to prevent any more injuries and deaths from car-related accidents, especially when they involve children. Safety for children must be a priority because they are also passengers in a car. By passing this bill, it is a beginning to reduce the fatalities that being in a car or around cars could possibly occur with children. Hopefully in the near future, children casualties will be at a bare minimum and they will be a lot safer.

I agree but unfortunately, no matter how safe your driving may be, accidents happen, whether through bad luck or carelessness. Since there is no perfect solution, we need to do everything we can to minimize collisions and accidents.
I agree that car safety should be stressed much more, but how much can a bill really do? For instance, in your post, you talk about how Congress is going to pass a bill to do all this stuff, but how exactly are they going to do it? Can accidents like being run over by a car or a vehicle being knocked into motion really be prevented? Those kinds of accidents lie in the hands of the one operating the vehicle. There's not really much anyone can do about that..
this could be very important in preventing childrens deaths around cars which I believe would be a good thing and isn't really something many people would think about everyday.
I would agree that this bill would benefit many children. Today many kids are not properly buckled in or sometimes not even in a car seat. If this bill were to go through it would save many kids lives and make some car rides safer, and some parents will not have to worry as much.
I agree with Congress's attempts to try and reduce car children related accidents. However, I think these laws will do nothing to reduce these accidents. Even if people put new technology for detecting views for drivers, there will still be reckless drivers that don't have the logic to use it. These bills wont protect against crimes like drunking driving.
