Effects of increasing child restraint use in reducing occupant injuries among children aged 0-5 years in Japan.

Conclusions: The present study used comparative indicators relative to age groups that were not covered by the legislation, and showed that a decrease in trend of occupant morbidity among children aged 0-5 years started before the introduction of compulsory restraint use. This change probably reflects the pre-legislative voluntary increase in child restraint use. PMID: 24827976 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
