Abstract

From June to August of 2011 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conducted the National Child Restraint Use Special Study (NCRUSS), a survey of child restraint system (CRS) use. This survey was nationally representative, with data collected at 24 randomly selected geographic areas within the United States. The survey data includes observations of the restraint systems of child passengers from birth to age 8, conducted by certified child passenger safety technicians (CPSTs), as well as associated interview data given by the drivers of these child passengers. In total, 4,167 complete observations (child restraint inspections with driver interviews) were gathered by the research staff. This report gives some of the early findings of this survey. A detailed analysis is currently in progress. (Author/publisher)
