The objective of this study by the National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) is to analyze passenger vehicle crashes involving children 0 to 8 years old. The NCSAs Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), NCSAs National Automotive Sampling System (NASS) General Estimates System (GES), and NASS Crashworthiness Data System (CDS) were consulted to establish restraint usage trends over a ten-year period and contrasted with National Occupant Protection Use Survey (NOPUS) restraint usage rates in preparing this report. Fatality rates were calculated using population data from the U.S. Census Bureau and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The study is intended to provide a better understanding of where to focus future safety efforts designed to improve highway transportation for young children.
