Project Summary/Abstract Minnesota HealthSolutions Corporation (MHS) proposes to develop an enhanced child safety seat that offers improved crash protection and mitigation against misuse. Child safety seats are installed in vehicles by properly attaching and tensioning the main seat-to-vehicle anchorage points. Proper use of the seat-to-vehicle attachments is extremely important in achieving the maximum available reduction of child injuries in motor vehicle crashes. Unfortunately, the attachments are inconveniently located on child safety seats and difficult to use properly. Several large studies have observed that only 10% to 40% of children are correctly harnessed into correctly installed seats. Improper use of child safety seats substantially reduces their effectiveness and is a major public health concern. The proposed child safety seat will offer enhanced crash protection through an innovative, inexpensive easy-to-use feature that will improve crash performance and also help mitigate the effects of seat misuse. We hypothesize that the proposed child safety seat will reduce vehicle crash-related child injuries and deaths. An interdisciplinary team of researchers has been assembled to define, build, and evaluate a production prototype system.

项目摘要/摘要 明尼苏达州HealthSolutions Corporation（MHS）建议开发一个增强的儿童安全座椅 改善了撞车保护和缓解滥用的方法。儿童安全座椅通过正确安装在车辆中 将主座椅到车辆锚点附加和张紧。正确使用座椅到车辆 附件对于实现机动车中儿童伤害的最大可用减少非常重要 崩溃。不幸的是，附件不方便地位于儿童安全座椅上，难以使用 适当地。几项大型研究观察到，只有10％至40％的儿童正确利用 正确安装座位。不当使用儿童安全座椅可大大降低其效力，这是一个 主要的公共卫生问题。拟议的儿童安全座椅将通过 创新的，廉价的易于使用的功能，可以改善崩溃性能并帮助减轻效果 座椅滥用。我们假设拟议的儿童安全座椅将减少与车辆撞车相关的儿童伤害 和死亡。一个跨学科的研究人员团队已经组装，以定义，建立和评估 生产原型系统。
