Abstract

Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death and disability among children in the United States despite the fact that child safety seats and seat belts can provide effective protection against serious and fatal injuries. Many child car seats and safety restraints are being used incorrectly. In addition, recent fatalities associated with children and air bags have heightened awareness of child passenger safety issues. Pediatric nurse practitioners are in an excellent position to offer motor vehicle occupant prevention strategies to families through health education and anticipatory guidance.
