I came across this article about a symposium at Bucknell University in LEWISBURG, Pa this Tuesday. Child Injury Symposium

Bucknell University will host a Child Injury Symposium for parents and interested adults Tuesday, May 8, from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. in Room 241 of the Elaine Langone Center at Bucknell. The symposium is free and open to the public.

Sixteen graduating seniors in Eric Kennedy's engineering elective course, Biomechanics and Injury Prevention, have backgrounds in biomedical, chemical and mechanical engineering.
...
Two presentations deal with booster seats and seatbelts on buses. "There is a large-scale problem with misuse of car seats by parents, particularly in the 4-9 year old range," he said. "Kids are at risk if they are moved into booster seats too early, or if they are moved out of booster seats too early, so the goal of this presentation is to educate parents on published 'best-practices' vs. legal requirements for booster seat use."

I think it would be really neat to see what these students have concluded and come up with with - I think their perspective may be interesting to see - especially the education part. I bet there may be a couple future CPSTs or CRS engineers in that group.

I'd love to go, but it is on the other side of the country from me.
