• Abstract:
  This edition of Traffic Tech briefly summarizes a full report, Child Passenger Safety State of Knowledge: A Literature Review, by Kryschtal et al. That systematic literature review presents a synthesis of behavioral safety research on child passenger safety (CPS) published from 2000 to 2022, focused on children up to age 12, and that was conducted in the United States. The review provides information about the current state of CPS; the history of CPS recommendations, regulations, and requirements; child restraint system types; non-use and misuse of child restraint systems and their risk factors; and approaches for reducing child fatalities and injuries in motor vehicle crashes, including education, outreach, State legislation and enforcement, and programs for communities with lower CRS use.
