Our three year old daughter was killed in a car accident on 13 April 2006. A truck crossed over the centre lines and our vehicle hit a tree when trying to avoid a collision with the truck. Our seven year old walked away from the crash, but Isabelle was fatally injured by the adult seatbelt used with her booster seat. There were no warnings about the dangers involved in using adult belts with toddlers. The law in Australia allows children as young as 12 months to use only an adult belt. This is manslaughter through poor legislation. If Belle was wearing a 5 point harness she would never have sustained these injuries and she would now be a happy, healthy four year old. We have set up a website in Belle's honour at http://isabelle-broadhead.memory-of.com and a discussion board at http://www.isabelle-paige.com/phpbb2

Your story touched my heart and I was one of those parents who put my 2 oldest in booster seats after seeing this and a couple others I went out and bought 3 graco nautilus carseats for my 6, 5, and 3 yr old. My youngest was 35lbs and couldnt be rear facing any longer. Ive been spreading the word about keeping little ones rearfacing as long as possible and keeping them in 5 pt harnesses as long as possible also!! Thank you so much and Im so sorry for your loss. God bless!
watching your video undoubtedly saved my son, Archers life in a high impact car collision we were recently involved in. after watching this, i switched to seat with a five point harness, having previously used a seat that utilized a shoulder belt. i am so sorry for your loss, and so grateful to you for bringing this subject to light. everyone with children would benefit from learning about Belle. rest in peace little one, even in death you continue to make a positive difference!
T I was going to get a highback booster but noticed that they are making some harness for up to 65 pounds, The price is so much more for the 5 points that go to 65 pounds I was trying to decide if it was really needed, ur story which was sooo sad and touching it made up my mind, thank you so much. We just purchased a 5 point that goes to 65 pounds call the nautilus 3in1. Thanks you again for sharing ur story, your family is saving many lives!!!
thank you for pointing this to me, I have ason of 3years old and we already made hem sit on a booster...I have just changed it before writing this. You probably save his life...thank you! Isabelle rest in peace.
I'm only twelve, so I don't know much on that subject, but you and Belle touched my heart forever. I wish I could do something to promote this video, so heartbreaking. I'm so sorry for your loss, and I hope you know she is watching from heaven. My daddy died when I was seven, and my uncle on christmas eve, and my nana, and my also 12 year old friend. I'm not a mother, but I know how you feel. Thank you for your life, Belle's life, and this vid. God bless you and your beautiful daughter and wife.
So heartbreaking. Thank you for your gift sweet little Belle. I pass this video on to everyone I know who prematurely put their child in a booster seat. You are saving lives little angel!
I am so sorry for ur loss. I wish I would have known about the britax car seats a year ago, when I bought my daughter a car seat, but its not a 5point its just uses a strap belt. Ur story is saving lives....
Thank you so much for this video. It convinced my hubs to spring for a top-of-the-line carseat for our baby--as I'm sure it has done to many other people. Your sweet babygirl's death was not in vain and may have saved many other kids' lives.
