The study tested whether currently marketed child safety seats are difficult to install in current model automobiles. The study also tested whether once installed, the child seats remain securely fastened when rocked or tilted. Thirteen toddler and four infant safety seats were tested in 8 to 17 1988-1989 model year automobiles. In general, problems with the installation and use of child safety seats differed significantly by test vehicle but did not vary significantly by child seat. A few more problems were found in the rear window position as compared with the rear center position. Installation and use in the front passenger position appear to present many more problems as compared with the rear seat positions. Recommendations of some manufacturers not to install child safety seats in the front seats of automobiles with motorized safety belts systems were thus confirmed.
