Swivel Convertible Child Safety Seat to Improve Usage

Conditions: Motor Vehicle Injury

Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 65 Years
Healthy volunteers: Yes
Enrollment: 100
Sponsor: Minnesota HealthSolutions

Location: The Ohio State University Columbus Ohio

Summary

Child car safety seats (or "car seats") are an important tool to keep children safe in motor vehicle crashes, but are often misused by parents and caregivers. The installation of car seats can be time consuming and confusing. A new type of swivel car seat is being developed to potentially alleviate some of the typical frustrations that might lead to car seat misuse, specifically the visibility and usage of the top tether feature. This study aims to evaluate the new car seat product and determine whether the new design results in fewer installation errors compared to a traditional car seat. Primary objective: To compare the number of top tether installation errors produced with a production-ready prototype swivel child safety seat vs. a traditional (control) seat. Secondary objective: To assess self-reported preference and opinions on the swivel child safety seat design.
