  ## Campaigns
  
  ### Child Restraints Save Kids Lives Campaign (2015)
  
  On June 1, 2015 (Children's Day), MingJian launched the first half of its child safety campaign with Child Safety On-the-Go, which based its message on testing of over 30 carseats from popular names in China and comparison models. On-the-Go was part of MingJian's long-term campaign for child safety in Chinese households, to be followed by six months of Child Safety in the Home initiatives.
  
  The campaign announcement coincided with #SaveKidsLives, the 2015 theme of the United Nations' Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-2020.
