Abstract

Motor vehicle trauma continues to rank as a principle cause of morbidity and mortality in young children. Properly restraining a child makes travel safer. Each of the 50 states has a unique child passenger restraint law. Exemptions can be divided into four general categories of driver /child relationship, child age, vehicle classification, and specific child transportation situations. This study discusses these inconsistencies within the nation's child restraint laws.
