The National Survey of the Use of Booster Seats obtains its data by sending trained data collectors to a probability sample of gas stations, day care centers, recreation centers, and restaurants in five national fast food chains across the U.S. The choice of these types of data collection sites stems from the necessity of observing restraint use from a close range in a slow-moving or stopped vehicle and the ability to conduct interviews with the drivers of stopped vehicles, combined with the desire to capture large numbers of children. Data collectors approach passenger vehicles appearing to have child occupants under the age of 13, observe the restraint use of up to nine occupants in the first three rows of seats and conduct interviews to obtain the race and ethnicity of all occupants (obtained in compliance with OMB standards for such data) and the heights, weights, and ages of child occupants appearing to be under age 13. (The approximate ages of other occupants (expressed as an age range, such as 16- 24 years), and the genders of all occupants, are subjectively assessed by the data collectors.)
