Many information resources are available to aid parents and caregivers with proper child restraint system (CRS) selection, installation and use, including hands-on instruction. Research has shown that hands-on instruction, such as that provided by NHTSA and Safe Kids Worldwide at Child Car Seat Inspection Stations nationwide, is effective in reducing misuse of seats. Unfortunately, this resource seems to be underutilized. To help increase correct use of CRS and utilization of inspection stations, approval is requested to conduct a national web-based survey to estimate parent and caregiver general knowledge of child passenger safety information resources, awareness and use of CRS inspection stations, and barriers to inspection station use. The survey will also examine the relationship between parent and caregiver confidence in installing CRSs, risk perception, and intent to visit an inspection station. The proposed survey is titled, âAwareness and Availability of Child Passenger Safety Information Resourcesâ.
