What the experts said
Children should use booster seats or car seats until they are adult-sized.
Placing the shoulder strap behind the head is a very common misuse pattern of seat belts in children.
When the shoulder strap rubs against a child's neck, they are at risk for head and neck injuries.
New automotive technologies can detect child weight and display which seats have unfastened seat belts to alert drivers.
Finley et al. out of Rutgers examined injury severity scores for pediatric patients who were either restrained or unrestrained/improperly restrained in motor vehicle collisions.
Patients who were not restrained or restrained improperly had significantly increased injury severity scores compared to properly restrained patients.
The highest percentage of improperly restrained children was in the 0-7 years age group.
About half of improperly restrained children aged 0-7 years were wearing only a seat belt without appropriate booster or car seats.
Head and neck injuries were the number one injury pattern in improperly restrained children involved in motor vehicle collisions.
