Educational Fact Sheets
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, transitioning children to adult seat belts, and helping teens to be smart passengers.
- For Your Family: Safe Seating Positions
- For Your Family: Belt-positioning Booster Seats
- For Your Family: Family Restraint Checklist
- Share the Drive: Teaching Your Teen to be a Smart Passenger
These fact sheets are also available in Spanish:

Legislative Fact Sheet
Using Evidence to Close Gaps In Laws: Good Policy Protects Child Passengers
Advocates can download this four-color, double-sided quick-reference fact sheet to illustrate the importance of laws requiring use of child restraints (such as boosters) to age 8 and rear seat placement up to age 13, as well as seat belt laws that cover all seating positions in a vehicle. It's a handy tool to use in presentations or for state legislative hearings.
