PROGRAMSChild Passenger SafetyOverviewThe goal of the Child Passenger Safety Program at the WTSC is to save the lives of and prevent injuries to children in Washington and to increase compliance with Washington's seat belt and child restraint laws. To reach this goal the WTSC provides technical assistance, training, materials and other resources to child passenger safety teams and advocates throughout the state. IssuesTraffic crashes are the leading cause of death for children in Washington. Over 85% of all child passenger restraint devices are misused, yet 60% of all children killed in traffic crashes were completely unrestrained. If you need to have your child car seat checked for correct installation, please contact your local Child Passenger Safety Team or contact the Safety Restraint Coalition at (800) BUCK-L-UP (282-5587.)
