Abstract

An analysis of the attitudes of 600 parents towards children's car-restraints together with their use is presented. Only 47% of infants under 9 months of age and 26% of children under 15 years of age were always appropriately restrained. Children under 4 were more likely to be restrained than older children and previous involvement in a road-traffic accident led to increased use of restraint.
