Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among children ages 2 to 14, due in large part to the nonuse or improper use of child seats and seat belts.

Child safety seats and booster seats offer the best protection for children in the event of a crash. During the past 30 years, more than 8,300 children’s lives have been saved by the use of child restraints, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
