This document establishes as an objective the improvement in the efficient use of child restraint systems and established as a concrete and quantifiable indicator &#8220;Zero children who died without child restraint systems&#8221;. <o_p><\/o_p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"ES\">The correct use of restraint systems is essential as it reduces the risk of injury in the event of an accident by 50% to 80%. The latest consolidated data, 2016, show that 3 of the 18 children under 11 years of age who were travelling in cars or vans did not have a restraint system. <o_p><\/o_p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"ES\">In addition, another 46 minors were injured of varying degrees, many of them for not having their child restraint system installed correctly or for not being properly secured to the child seat. On urban roads, where most of the journeys made are short-distance, the number of people injured in hospital by accident increased by 5%, while the rest of the ages decreased by 1%.
