TY - JOUR PY - 1994// TI - Coverage gaps in child-restraint and seat-belt laws affecting children JO - Accident analysis and prevention A1 - Fields, Michele A1 - Weinberg, K. SP - 371 EP - 376 VL - 26 IS - 3 N2 - Although most U.S. states have enacted mandatory-seat-belt-use laws and all states have child-restraint laws requiring children under specified ages to be properly restrained in vehicles, some children are covered by neither law. Other children are covered only by belt-use laws that do not make any adult responsible for their compliance. This note analyzes the child-restraint and belt-use laws in each state and demonstrates the deficiencies in coverage as they apply to children younger than age 16.
