Abstract

Family protocol often dictates that children too old for car seats occupy the rear seat when travelling with adults. In most vehicles, the only available rear seat restraint is a lap belt. Our recent experience with a group of children who were rear seat passengers at the time of a motor vehicle accident suggests that patterns of injury may be influenced by use of lap belts.
