SafeKids Research Sept 2014: Booster Seats
09/16/2014
With the support of the General Motors Foundation, Safe Kids Worldwide surveyed 1,000 parents with children ages 4 to 10 to ask about how their child rides in a car and what leads them to use a booster seat or seat belt. Nearly 9 in 10 parents are moving their children from booster seats to a seat belt before they reach the recommended height. Carpooling parents are less likely to use child restraints when needed.
