Using evidence to close gaps In laws: Good policy protects child passengers: Three steps to optimizing child-passenger safety laws.

This 'legislative' fact sheet on booster seats from the Center for Injury Research & Prevention at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia argues for the need for booster seats for smaller framed children over five years of age. It has sections on the 'Three steps to optimizing child-passenger safety laws'. It is suggested at their website that: "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." Available from: http://stokes.chop.edu/programs/injury/educational_advocacy/fact_sheets.php
