Virtual Car Seat Installation Program Evaluation: Parent Satisfaction and Installation Accuracy.

Background: Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of preventable death in the United States, but properly used child safety seats significantly reduce the risk of injury and mortality. In-person car safety seat installation programs were suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic, prompting the development of virtual alternatives. However, the effectiveness of these virtual installation programs remains unknown.
