Strategies to Increase the Use of Child Safety Seats among Toddlers. Volume 1

摘要

The project investigated parent attitudes toward use of child safety seats (CSSs), determined motives for CSS use and nonuse, and identified promising strategies for converting current nonusers into users. One to four year old toddler nonuse was emphasized because of its much greater prevalence and researchability. Observed infant CSS use is over 60%, while CSS use by toddlers is much lower (infant seat nonuse and toddler seat misuse were beyond the limited scope of the study).
