Almost three-quarters of parents turn car seats to face forward too early

Many parents don't follow guidelines that call for using rear-facing car seats until age 2, according to National Poll on Children's Health data. Motor-vehicle collisions remain a leading cause of death among children younger than 4 years and the leading cause of death among older children in the United States, in part because child passengers continue to be unrestrained, and 20 percent of 1- to 3-year-olds and nearly half of 4- to 7-year-olds do not use the recommended restraint for their age.
