Abstract
Buckle Up with Brutus is a researcher-led initiative to educate caregivers on car safety for children and to disseminate knowledge from our field directly to the public. Buckle Up with Brutus hosts an annual car seat check event, where caregivers can bring their car seat to have its installation and use checked by a trained technician. We communicate car safety information through our website, social media, and in person at events throughout the community.
