CHILD PASSENGER PROTECTION. A GUIDE FOR STATE LEGISLATION
A review of child passenger protection laws enacted to date shows inconsistencies and contradictions that have led to confusion on a number of important factors, such as, up to what age should children be protected, what is the best means of protection, or what should be the policy when the number of small children in the family exceeds the number of belts in the vehicle. It has become increasingly evident that there is need for a "Model" child passenger protection law to serve as a guide for states to follow. In addressing this problem, this article provides carefully documented recommendations and explanations intended to assist legislators in formulating a sound child passenger protection bill.
