Study Finds Carpooling Parents Often Skip Safety Seats
NEW YORK (CBS) - Most parents make sure their child uses a booster seat in the car. But a new study found that many parents confess they don't insist on safety seats when their kids carpool. The study -- published online Monday in the journal Pediatrics -- surveyed over 1,600 parents across the country, 681 of which had kids between 4 and 8 years old. Of those parents, 76 percent reported their child used a safety seat when riding in the family car -- but only 55 percent insist on the seats when driving other children. And among the 64 percent of parents who carpool, 21 percent do not ask other drivers to use a booster seat for their child.
