The Child Car Seat study is a research study looking at the factors that help or hinder proper child car seat use.
We are interested in the use of information sources about the correct use of child car seats. We are hoping that the study will help reduce the level of incorrect use of child seats and thereby reduce the risk of injury to children in the event of a crash.
The findings from the study will help us develop the best possible set of informational materials so that all children in Australia using car seats can travel as safely as possible.
Please note: car seats must be purchased through the research team once participants are registered for the study. The car seats involved are not ISOFIX compatible.
Ethics approval number: HREC/18/POWH/361.
You may be eligible to participate in this study if you:
No experience with using child seats required.
