Presents a study based on surveys of 20 rural communities in 4 states about booster seat use for children ages 4-7. Analyzes results of surveys given before and after participating in a 4-6 week community T-ball program that disseminated information about the importance of booster seats in child passenger safety. Control communities were only given a brochure about the topic at the time of the survey.
