Partners for Child Passenger Safety is a research partnership of The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and the University of Pennsylvania, and State Farm Insurance developed to study how and why children are injured and killed in motor vehicle crashes and to help parents and caregivers learn more about child safety seats, booster seats and seatbelts. The Partners team has studied more than 300,000 motor vehicle crashes to learn more about child safety. Research findings and factsheets can be found through their Education and Advocacy and Publications sections of the Center for Injury Research and Prevention site.

The information on their Keeping Kids Safe During Crashes site includes videos and other useful information on installing and using child safety seats and on seat belt use for older children and quick tips to help you review the information and links to other online resources.

Partners for Child Passenger Safety now has a Spanish version of their "Keeping Kids Safe" site on their Cómo mantener a los niños fuera de peligro durante los choques site.
