Abstract:

This 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. A stakeholder meeting at the beginning of the project established important issues, gaps in available information, and stakeholder and audience needs. The review provides information about the current state of CPS; the history of CPS recommendations, regulations, and requirements; child restraint system (CRS) types; non-use and misuse of CRSs and their risk factors; and approaches for reducing child fatalities and injuries in motor vehicle crashes (MVC), including education, outreach, State legislation and enforcement, and programs for communities with lower CRS use.
