Samenvatting
The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA's) National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) analyzed data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) to investigate the association between the restraint use of child passengers involved in a crash and their drivers. In addition, National Occupant Protection Use Survey (NOPUS) data were examined regarding general restraint use patterns of children and their drivers. Results show that children are more likely to be restrained when their driver is restrained, and the restraint use of children has improved greatly since the mid-1990s. (A)
