This manual was prepared for professionals or volunteers engaged in state or local child passenger safety programs, those who work with pregnant women, infants, small children, school children, or teenagers, and parents who want to start a project to promote child passenger safety in their community or organization. It is designed to provide the tools for accomplishing the major tasks confronting child passenger safety advocates today. Chapter One describes what people have done in their communities, working through schools, businesses, civic organizations, and law enforcement or health agencies to accomplish these tasks. Chapter Two provides details on organizing a project and carrying it out. Chapter Three gives the answers to the common, yet often confusing questions that parents ask about using safety seats and belts. Appendix A contains several specialized technical guides related to the use of safety seats. Appendix B lists the multitude of program materials available to help get the message across. Appendix C provides a list of people and organizations that can provide assistance. A bibliography and glossary complete the text. (A)
