摘要: |
Properly used and secured child restraints reduce the risk of death and injury in a motor vehicle crash by about 70 percent. However, past research indicates that over 70 percent of restraints in Victoria are not correctly installed. Royal Automobile Club of Victoria (RACV) commissioned a market research survey of parents to ascertain their attitudes and beliefs about the selection, fitting and installation of child restraints. Over 400 parents with children aged under 6 years old were surveyed. Results from the survey indicated that parents generally install child restraints themselves and believe that the installation of the restraint is the easiest aspect of fitting a restraint. This is alarming when more than two out of every three restraints are incorrectly installed. To promote awareness of child restraint issues, a campaign was developed to encourage parents/guardians to: (1) have their child restraints professionally fitted; (2) ensure that the children are in the appropriate restraint for their size and weight; (3) ensure that the restraint is always done up. Results from the market research, campaign details and initial findings are discussed in this paper. (a) For the covering entry of this conference, please see IRRD abstract no. E202589. |
