Child Passenger Safety: Educational Illustrations
CHOP has created a series of 37 educational illustrations, with descriptions in both English and Spanish, to help demonstrate proper restraint use for a variety of ages, sizes, vehicle types, and restraint types. Use these illustrations to enhance presentations, fact sheets, and brochures with accurate depictions of vehicle safety features, restraint types, and correct vs. incorrect restraint use. Illustrations are available in JPG format. Download the Illustrations Index to help you select your images.

Child Passenger Safety: Charts and Images from PCPS
From 1997 to 2007, data was collected through Partners for Child Passenger Safety (PCPS), a unique industry/academic research partnership with the goal of providing the nation’s only large-scale child-focused crash surveillance data system. This data provide a scientific foundation for legislative action and have been utilized in state and federal initiatives focused on strengthening child occupant restraint laws. The charts and images below are organized by the year of data collection.
Comparative Injury Risk from PCPS
- Injury to Children 0- to 12-Years-Old Seated in the Front Seat vs. the Rear Seat
- Risk of Child Injury by Seat Row and Restraint Type
- Risk of Abdominal Injury for Child Occupants in Crashes
- Effectiveness of Belt-positioning Booster Seats in Preventing Injury for 4- to 8-Year-Olds
- Restraint of a 6-Year-Old in a Motor Vehicle Crash: Booster Seat vs. Lap Belt
- Restraint of a 6-Year-Old in a Motor Vehicle Crash: Booster Seat vs. Lap and Shoulder Belt
