| 摘要： | The leading cause of death in the Nation for children age 3 to 6 and 8 to 14 is motor vehicle crashes. The most effective strategy for preventing injury and death to children involved in crashes is using age- and size-appropriate restraints. Although child restraint use is over 90%for children younger than 4, only 50%of children 4 to 7 are appropriately restrained in booster seats or child restraints despite the fact that most States (45) and the District of Columbia have booster seat laws in place. States differ on age, weight, and height requirements for booster seat occupants. While there is evidence that occupant protection laws and enforcement (with publicity) do promote child restraint and booster seat use, there is a need to better understand the most effective strategies law enforcement agencies (LEAs) can use to encourage higher levels of booster seat use in their communities. This study included topics relating to training, logistics, types of techniques, legal issues, socio-demographic and highway safety concerns, education, and other issues that can affect LEAs abilities to enforce booster seat laws. / Supplementary Notes: See also PB2010-106137, DOT-HS-811-247. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
