CAR SEAT SAFETY
Restraint use by young children reached record levels in 2002, with 99% of infants and 94% of toddlers restrained. On the other hand, too many youngsters remain in the front seat,  with 15% of infants, 10% of 1-3 year olds, and 29% of 4-7 year-olds in this more dangerous seating position. Also, the restraint status of the driver continues to be strongly related to that of his or her child passengers, indicating that belt enforcement programs save kids� lives as well as benefiting adults. These results are from the National Occupant Protection Use Survey (NOPUS), which provides the only probability-based observed data on the use of child restraints on the nation�s roads.


This survey is conducted by the National Center for Statistics and Analysis in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
