child passenger safety
Child passenger safety behavior: child restraint system use and misuse, car seat installation errors, booster seat transitions, rear-seat placement, premature graduation to adult belts, caregiver knowledge and barriers, and child restraint laws and their behavioral effects. The behavioral and usage side of child occupant protection, distinct from seat_belt_use (adult restraint behavior) and from crashworthiness engineering (out of scope).
