**Summary of our Project: Most people don’t know that morethan 500 U.S. kids every week are injured in traffic crashes. Many injuries ofelementary school kids are devastating and lifelong but most could have beenprevented by a $20 booster seat. Few parents know kids need a booster to age10-12. Pasadena is a diverse city with groups ready to tell families: theinjury rate in car crashes for kids from K-5 grades can be reduced by 45% ifchildren not fitting safety belts properly use booster seats.
SafetyBeltSafe U.S.A. engages entire school communities,teaching kids how to protect themselves and to use peer support to help friendsride safely. We bring together schools, youth agencies, service groups, healthcare, and law enforcement to promote the 5-Step Test to determine booster usethrough ages 10-12.**
