Answer
Lots and lots of accident info from the Census Bureau:
http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/cats/transportation/motor_vehicle_accidents_and_fatalities.html
Tons of info from the NHTSA (click links at the top for driving safety, vehicle safety, research and data): http://www.nhtsa.gov/
Perform your own statistical analysis at the NHTSA "Fatality Analysis Reporting System:"
http://www-fars.nhtsa.dot.gov/Main
The IIHS has lots of info:http://www.iihs.org/
For example, why texting bans aren't working: http://www.iihs.org/news/rss/pr092810.html
And teenagers suck at driving (old people are actually safer):
http://www.iihs.org/research/fatality_facts_2008/teenagers.html
Of course, if you're going to talk about safety, you need to include distracted driving and why cell phones (hands-free OR hand-held) aren't safe to use:
http://www.distraction.gov/stats-and-facts/index.html
http://statehighwaysafety.org/html/publications/pdf/sfdist11.pdf
http://www.distraction.gov/research/PDF-Files/Passenger-Cellphone-Conversations.pdf
http://www.fnal.gov/pub/traffic_safety/files/NSC%20White%20Paper%20-%20Distracted%20Driving%203-10.pdf
That should give you something to do between now and lunch. If you need more, just let me know!

i read the artilce in the above link but it is not for atleast 22 pound baby. my baby is only 21 and he outgrew his current carseat according to height limit.
thanks....
Answer
the link was for booster seats, and your 1 year old is nowhere near ready for a booster! :)
id recommend a convertible seat, so that your little guy can remain rear facing for another year or so. just about all convertible seats now go to 35+ lbs for rear facing. my son was 25lbs at 1 year and made it to almost 2.5 rear facing before he hit 35lbs, so you're little one shouldn't have a problem going beyond that!
i have the true fit car seat and i love it! its comfortable, and it has a very high back so that kids grow out of it by weight before height (at 2.5 years, he had a good 4" above his head still!)
but really - any convertible car seat would work for your son, pretty much., it just depends on your budget, and what fits well in your car.
