Teaching Infant Car Seat Installation via Interactive Visual Presence: An Experimental Trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Interactive communication may help parents install car seats more accurately than using the manufacturer's manual alone. This was an initial study with a modestly-sized sample; if results are replicated in future research, there may be reason to consider centralized "call centers" that provide verbal and/or interactive visual instruction from remote locations to parents installing car seats, paralleling the model of centralized poison control centers in the United States.
