Summary

Motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) kill more children and young adults than any other single cause in the United States. Proper use of the child safety seat (car seat, or CSS) reduces the risk of death by 71% in infants, and to toddlers by 54%. While the rate of CSS use has increased across all age groups over the last few decades,91% of observed CSSs demonstrate serious installation errors in the newborn population and 62% in all ages.In addition, non-white children have higher rates of misuse and non-use of CSS compared to white children, and the proportion of unrestrained deaths from MVCs in black and Hispanic children is almost twice that of white children (45% vs 26%). Certified child passenger safety technicians (CPST) provide interactive training to families on how to install and correct errors in their child's CSS. The use of CPSTs through "car seat checks" has been successful in increasing participants' (caregivers) skills, knowledge, and confidence, and reducing errors in CSS use.
