Additional Analysis of National Child Restraint Use Special Study: Characteristics Of Those Not Restrained

The National Child Restraint Use Special Study (NCRUSS) recorded the use of car seats and belt-positioning booster seats in children up to 8 years old in 4,167 vehicles.Observers approached vehicles that carried at least one child. They interviewed the driver and collected detailed information on the restraint status of one child per vehicle, the vehicle, and its driver. This report describes the examination of unrestrained drivers, drivers who report having ever driven with unrestrained children, and drivers transporting unrestrained children.
