Child Passenger Safety Charts and Images
Child passenger safety data provide a scientific foundation for legislative action and have been utilized in state and federal initiatives focused on strengthening child occupant restraint laws. The charts and images can be downloaded and enlarged for use in advocating for stronger laws and appropriate restraint use.
These still images and illustrations provide educators, advocates, and parents with clear, accurate visuals for use as reference and in presentations, brochures and handouts.
If you have any questions regarding the content or usage of these images, please contact Dana Mortensen at mortensen@email.chop.edu.
