The report presents results from the 2009 National Survey of the Use of Booster Seats (NSUBS), the only probability-based nationwide child restraint survey in the United States that observes restraint use and interviews an adult occupant to collect race, ethnicity, and other data. The NSUBS is conducted by the National Center for Statistics and Analysis, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The 2009 NSUBS found that 41 percent of 4- to 7-year-old children were restrained in booster seats in 2009 as compared to 43 percent in 2008. The restraint use for children 1 to 3 increased from 92 percent to 96 percent while the restraint use rate for all children under 13 remained unchanged at 89 percent. There was some improvement in restraint use by non-Hispanic Black or African-American children. Restraint use by Hispanic children was significantly lower than non-Hispanic children across all age groups.
