Here's a link to a press release from the Center for Injury Research and Prevention at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (aka "CHOP"):

"Crash Data Confirms Child Safety Seats, Boosters Offer Survival Advantage to Child Passengers"
http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/m...story/06-05-2006/0004374684&EDATE=Jun+5,+2006

They conducted a study that helps to refute the Freakonomics argument that kids over age 2 are as safe using a vehicle seatbelt as they would be in a harnessed carseat or belt positioning booster.

I think this is the study CPSDarren has said was in the works. Yeehaw, take that, Freakonomics authors and proponents. ;)

This part is awesome:

They found that,
for children under age eight, those who were appropriately restrained for
their age and size could reduce their risk of serious injury in a crash to
less than one percent.
