Samenvatting
To study and promote proper car safety seat (CSS) use, the rates of CSS use prior to and after Alberta CSS legislation was proclaimed and was determined and an estimation was made of the proportion of CSS users whose techniques could be improved. Over 90% of mothers of newborn infants had (or claimed to have had) a CSS prior to January 1985. The new legislation had no significant effect on this high usage rate. But at least 10% of mothers who had CSS were evaluated as using it incorrectly.
