Hispanic children under 13 years old have lower restraint use rates (use of child safety seats, booster seats, and seat belts) than non-Hispanic children. This result is from the National Survey of the Use of Booster Seats (NSUBS), the only probability-based nationwide child restraint survey that observes restraint use and collects race and ethnicity. The NSUBS is conducted by the National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. (Author/publisher)
