Car seats are no better than seat belts

From a brand new paper by the author of Freakonomics:

"Using data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) on all fatal
crashes in the United States from 1975-2003, I find that child safety seats, in actual
practice, are no better than seat belts at reducing fatalities among children aged 2-6."
