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.

项目概要/摘要 明尼苏达健康解决方案公司 (MHS) 提议开发一种增强型儿童安全座椅， 改进了碰撞保护和防止误操作的缓解。儿童安全座椅安装在车辆上的正确方法 连接并张紧主要座椅与车辆的固定点。正确使用座椅到车辆 附件对于最大限度地减少机动车辆中的儿童伤害极其重要 崩溃。不幸的是，这些附件安装在儿童安全座椅上不方便且难以使用 适当地。几项大型研究发现，只有 10% 到 40% 的儿童被正确地利用 正确安装座椅。儿童安全座椅使用不当会大大降低其有效性，并且是一个严重的问题 主要公共卫生问题。拟议的儿童安全座椅将通过 创新、廉价且易于使用的功能，将提高碰撞性能并有助于减轻影响 座位滥用。我们假设拟议的儿童安全座椅将减少与车辆碰撞相关的儿童伤害 和死亡。一个跨学科的研究团队已经组建起来，以定义、构建和评估 生产原型系统。
