In order to reduce child occupant traffic injuries, more than 40 countries have issued relevant standards and regulations to protect child occupant traffic safety. This paper systematically sorts out the relevant laws and standards related to child occupant traffic safety in China, and analyzes the influential factors of child’s road traffic injury by using the data of national road traffic accident information system. In the past 10 years, children deaths accounted for more than 30% of road traffic accidents, and the number of children deaths by taking passenger car was the highest, nearly 70% of children deaths were among children aged 1-6 years. The proportion of children death accidents was the highest from July to August, on Saturday and Sunday and at 16 to 18 o’clock. The findings of this study reveal the causes of child’s road traffic injuries, thus contributing to the smooth progress of the study on child’s road traffic safety.
