Acceptability of virtual restraint fitting to extend the reach of child restraint fitting services: A pilot randomized controlled trial.

Objective: Incorrect use of child restraints is a long-standing issue, limiting the protection offered by child restraints in the event of a crash. Child restraint fitting services are a measure to reduce incorrect use but have limited reach and availability to underserved populations. Virtual child restraint fitting services have the potential to increase the reach and availability, but as with any digital intervention, need to be acceptable to users to be effective.

User-driven instructions reduce errors in child restraint use: a randomised controlled trial in Sydney, Australia.

Background And Objectives: Crash injury risk is reduced when a child correctly uses an appropriate restraint; however, incorrect restraint use remains widespread. The aim of this study was to determine whether product information developed using a user-driven approach increases correct child restraint use.

Methods: We conducted a two-arm double-blinded parallel randomised controlled trial in New South Wales, Australia 2019-2021.

Australian parental decisions about transitioning children from booster seats in a randomised trial: greater support may be needed.

Background: Premature graduation to an adult seatbelt is common and detrimental to optimal crash protection. While there is an existing tool (the ) to support a parent's decision to graduate their child, its effectiveness is unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the .
