  New report on motor vehicle restraint use shows mixed results. Infants and toddlers continue to be restrained at high use levels when riding in motor vehicles, while restraint use among children ages 4-7 has declined. Data shows that only 73% of children ages 4-7 were restrained, down from 83% two years ago. The report is based on data from the National Occupant Protection Use Survey (NOPUS), conducted by the National Center for Statistics and Analysis in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
