Child-passenger safety training focuses on Latino families. Washington

“The importance of buckling up, how car seats and booster seats protect children, and the state’s seat belt and car seat laws will all be part of training sessions for Latino community outreach workers this week. Participants will be able to teach Latino parents about keeping their children safe in the car.

Research shows the need for such training in the Latino community. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children, and booster seats have been shown to be effective in reducing injuries and death in motor vehicle crashes for children aged 4- to 8-years old. Yet research indicates that Latino families are less likely to use car seats and booster seats to protect young passengers.”
