Age – Youngest Children Ages 0-3 0-3 4-7 8-12 13-15 • The numbers of fatalities among the youngest age group (0-3) is quite small relative to older 14 age categories. 13 12 • Observational survey results indicate youngest 10 occupants (0-3) were totally unrestrained 5% of the time. FARS data (2016) indicate 75% were 8 8 restrained. 7 6 ✓ Program efforts should continue and possibly be 4 strengthened to keep problems from emerging. 4 3 2 3 2 1 0 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016

Age – Young Children Ages 4 -7 0-3 4-7 8-12 13-15 • Observational and FARS data indicate that there is room for improvement among this 14 13 age group. 12 • Despite having a relatively high usage rate in 10 FARS (2016), observational survey data have 8 indicated lower belt use compared to the 8 other age groups. 7 6 ✓ Bureau of Vital Statistics support the need to 4 4 direct some level of focus to this group. 3 General injury (i.e., among all crash victims; 2 3 2 not just unrestrained) among this age group 1 0 on a per population basis increased over the same time period. 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016

Age - Children Ages 8-12 0-3 4-7 8-12 13-15 • Observational survey data indicated sizeable migration of these passengers to front seat. 14 13 • Observed belt usage was higher in front seat 12 compared to rear seat (89% vs. 75%). 10 • Restraint usage among fatalities (front and rear) 8 8 was relatively high (64%). 7 6 ✓ Some level of focus should be put to promoting 4 usage in the Rear among this age group (among 4 3 others). 2 3 2 1 0 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016

Age – Young Teens Ages 13 - 15 0-3 4-7 8-12 13-15 • Alarmingly low usage in FARS (25% in 2016). 14 • There was a relatively large increase in 13 12 unrestrained fatalities in 2016 (from 6 to 13). ✓ Consider placing some focus on this group. 10 8 8 7 6 4 4 3 2 3 2 1 0 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016
