A Look Inside American Family Vehicles: National Study of 79,000 Car Seats, 2009-2010

This report presents data analyzed from 79,000 car seat checklist forms that were completed by Safe Kids coalitions at community car seat checkup events across the nation during a one year period of time. The data indicate which type car seats are selected for children of different ages and weights, where they are situated in vehicles, what direction they face, if the harness is used correctly and whether seat belts, tethers or lower anchors are used according to manufacturer's instructions.
