The goals of the study were to better establish the relationships between proper and improper usage of safety seats in crashes and the resulting injury levels and mechanisms and to establish measures of the distance from home that the children were when these accidents occurred. Using police reported accident data and supplemental information obtained through telephone interviews with parents/drivers of these children, the following conclusions were drawn: Almost half of the accident involved children were involved in crashes within 5 miles of their home and 70 percent were involved within 10 miles. Severe crashes were as likely to occur close to home as they were farther from home.
