In honor of National Child Passenger Safety Week, CIRP reshares posts about child passenger safety topics.

Recent CIRP research reveals the importance of considering developmental and behavioral factors - and not only age, height, or weight - when deciding when to move a child from one child restraint to another.

The Center for Child Injury Prevention Studies proudly announces a new portfolio of research projects.

Learn the topics and objectives of the 11 newly funded projects for the 2019-2020 CChIPS research portfolio.

At a recent well-child visit for my infant son, a member of the clinical team asked about our child passenger safety practices. Unfortunately, this isn't always the norm at many practices due to barriers such as limited time during visits and a lack of awareness of best practices.

Over the past five years, CIRP engineers have utilized pediatric human body computational models to complement traditional laboratory-based research methods. We are pleased to offer two new simulation videos using the PIPER human body model that illustrate how differences in child passenger safety practices can impact a child’s injury risk in a crash.

New CIRP research offers insights about child restraint system use by parents and caregivers of kids ages 4 to 10 years.

A new study reevaluates the safety benefits of restraining children under age 2 rear-facing versus forward-facing in motor vehicles. Learn what has and hasn't changed when it comes to keeping the youngest child passengers optimally protected.

Today, the Center for Child Injury Prevention Studies (CChIPS) released its 2017 Annual Report, featuring snapshots of child safety-focused research projects completed during the 2016-2017 project year.
