Safety Seat Law: Infants and children who are seated
in places other than the back seat account for nearly 32%
of child fatalities in Oregon, and those seated in the
back seat without proper restraints account for an
additional 35% of child fatalities. Drinking drivers are
more likely than other drivers to transport children
improperly. Traveling in a child safety seat reduces the
chance of a crash death by an estimated 71% for infants
and 54% for children age 1-4. Child safety seat laws like
Oregon’s typically reduce occupant fatalities of children
age 4 and under by approximately 15% and their
alcohol-involved deaths by a similar amount.
