Abstract: On average, three children were killed and an estimated 470 children were injured every day in the United States in traffic crashes. Of the 1,149 traffic fatalities involving children 14 and younger in 2013, 776 or roughly two-thirds were occupants of passenger vehicles. Of these 776 fatalities, restraint use was known for 719, of whom 412 or 57% were restrained by child restraints or seat belts. To better understand child restraint use, approval is requested to conduct a study to identify user errors related to: the selection of Child Restraint Systems (CRS) based on a child’s height/weight/age, installation of the selected CRS in various vehicle make and models, and securing the child in the CRS. In addition to the user’s knowledge of and experience with various CRSs, specific features or designs of the vehicles and CRSs as well as their respective manuals may contribute to various types of errors. The proposed study attempts to identify the various user errors and provide insight into the causal factors that contribute to errors related to selecting CRSs and properly securing children in them, with both novice and experienced users. Findings will provide useful information to the public regarding error-prone factors related to selecting the right CRS and installing the CRS. In addition, the findings will transition to efforts in reducing or removing error-prone factors from the CRS selection and installation processes.
