• Abstract:
  The causes of consumer satisfaction or dissatisfaction with child restraint systems were studied, and factors contributing to non-use and misuse were identified. Thirty-two families used several different child restraint models for extended periods, and their perceptions and preferences prior to use were compared to those expressed afterward. Recommendations are made to improve education, design, marketing, and regulation regarding child restraint systems. /Abstract from report summary page/
