Chile: a success story
In accordance with its mission to eliminate traffic collision casualties in Latin America, and with special attention to child traffic safety, the Gonzalo Rodriguez Foundation started to prepare a plan of action in Chile in 2012. In conjunction with the National Commission on Transit Safety (CONASET according to its initials in Spanish), they held meetings to outline a strategy focused on child traffic safety in Chile that included a training of traffic police about the importance of the use of Child Restraint Systems ((CRS) more commonly known as car seats). They also planned three Car Seat Checkpoints in different shopping centers in Santiago where Gonzalo Rodriguez Foundation technicians and traffic police offered practical advice about safe child transport to those who visited the Checkpoints.
