Safety board says
child safety seats
not used properly
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Forty-nine
states require automobile safety seats
for small children, but federal offi
cials say the devices are used only
about half the time when required —
and then usually improperly.
Safety experts also say the design
of the child safety seats, their com-
f »licated instructions for use, and the
act that most cars are not made to
use the seats all contribute to the
problem.

erly. Several new surveys of child
seat use confirms the board’s fears.
One study by the National High
way Traffic Safety Administration
shows that during the last six months
of 1984 the usage rate of child seats
for children 5 years or younger was
only 49.3 percent. The usage rate
for infants was somewhat higher —
69.2 percent.

is bringing together auto manufac

standards for all child safety seats.

vice chairman, said in an interview
that the most frequent misuses in

the cars and children strapped inse

Another study, reflecting a gen
eral conclusion reached by other re
searchers — showed that many seats
are used incorrectly, Goldman said.
Sometime parents knowingly mis
use the seats because they are in a
hurry “or some other excuse,” but
other times the design of the seats
confuse parents and lead to im
proper installation, Goldman said.
