| Summary/abstract: | - As part of community risk reduction, the Virginia Beach Fire Department installs child passenger safety seats. This applied research project examines the compliance of the Virginia Beach Fire Department's child safety seat installation program to national standards. The problem is that the child safety seat installation program has not been evaluated for its compliance to national standards. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the compliance of the Virginia Beach Fire Department's child safety seat installation program to national standards. This research project employed the descriptive research methodology to identify: a) What child safety seat installation standards exist? b) What child safety seat training standards exist? c) What legal and liability issues exist for installing child safety seats? d) What impact does the child safety seat installation program have on the community? Procedures included a literature review, personal interviews and surveys sent
to members of the Virginia Beach Fire Department and fire departments throughout the country. Results determined national installation and training standards, legal and liability issues and the impact that a child safety seat installation program has on the community. The recommendations of this applied research project provide options to ensure the child safety seat program meets national standards.
