abstract="INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to calculate national estimates and examine the extent to which children prematurely use adult seat belts and ride in the front seat of a vehicle during a 30 day period. METHODS: Data were obtained from a nationally representative cross-sectional random-digit-dial telephone survey that included child-specific questions on motor vehicle restraint use and seating position. RESULTS: Among children less than 13 years, parents reported an estimated 618,337 who rode unrestrained and more than one million who rode in the front seat of a vehicle at least some of the time in the past 30days. During the same time period, close to 11million children 8years and younger reportedly used only adult seat belts. DISCUSSION: Our results highlight the need for continued outreach to parents regarding optimal restraint use and rear seating position for children every trip, every time.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
