Observations of child travel were made in Knoxville and Nashville, Tennessee, and Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky about two and one-half years after the Tennessee child restraint law went into force. Use of child restraints anchored by seat belts increased in Tennessee from 8 per cent prior to the law to 29 per cent, compared to a change from 11 to 14 per cent in Kentucky, which does not have a child restraint law. Travel in arms, a hazardous practice permitted by the law, was at the same level in Tennessee and Kentucky as prior to passage of the law.
在田纳西州儿童约束法生效约两年半后,对田纳西州的诺克斯维尔和纳什维尔以及肯塔基州的列克星敦和路易斯维尔的儿童乘车情况进行了观察。在田纳西州,使用安全带固定的儿童约束装置的比例从该法律实施前的8%上升到了29%,而在没有儿童约束法的肯塔基州,这一比例则从11%变为14%。怀抱儿童乘车这种法律允许的危险行为,在田纳西州和肯塔基州的发生率与该法律通过之前处于同一水平。
