From the number of researches, one of the most effective ways to save lives and reduce the impact from accidents is about the appropriate use of seat belt and child restraint. When used, the risk of fatality in front-seat passenger is reduced by 45%, and 50% from the risk of moderate-to-critical injuries (Kahane, 2000). And for the pickups, the risk of fatality reduced by 60%, and 65% from the risk of moderate-to-critical injuries (Kahane, 2000).
From NHTSA, the appropriate use of child restraints are more useful than the use of seat belts in reducing the rate of fatality. The child restraints reduce the rate of fatality by 71% for the infants, and 54% in the case of the children between 1 to 4 years old (NCSA, 1996).
Moreover, from the research of the Partners for Child Passenger Safety Program at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, the belt-positioning booster seats can reduce the rate of injury to children between the age of 4 to 8 in accidents by 45% comparing to the seat belts alone (Arbogast, Jermakian, Kallan, & Durbin, 2009)

From the 574 killed passengers from the crashed vehicle in Indiana, 48.4% were well restrained (Figure 9).
Moreover, from the research of the usage of seat belt in Indiana conducted by ICJI and Purdue University Center for Road Safety, the overall of Indiana rate of seat belt usage exceeded the national rates since the year of 2007, and has expanded from 88.2 percent in 2007 to 92.4 percent in 2016 with the highest in 2012, with 93.6% rate of usage (Figure
