Abstract

NHTSA issued a progress report on the state of occupant protection for children aged 4 to 8. The report offers a summary of the issue and data, pointing out improvements made, identifying continuing problem areas, and recognizing the need for continued efforts. It cites the in-depth research by Partners for CPS, showing that the risk of injury is reduced by 59 percent for children using boosters—instead of safety belts—at least through age 7.
