Partners for Child Passenger Safety Educational Illustrations

PCPS has created a series of 37 educational illustrations, along with descriptions in both English and Spanish, to help demonstrate proper restraint use for a variety of ages, sizes, vehicle types, and restraint types. Use these illustrations to enhance presentations, fact sheets, and brochures with accurate depictions of vehicle safety features, restraint types, and correct vs. incorrect restraint use. Most illustrations are available in both JPG and EPS formats. Download the Illustrations Index to help you select your images.

For your family

These single-page, black and white, photocopier-friendly educational tools were designed in collaboration with the American Academy of Pediatrics for distribution and use in pediatric practices. They address the many questions parents and caregivers may have about safe seating positions for children, use of belts and tethers, safe cars for families, correct belt-positioning booster seat use, and transitioning children to adult seat belts.
