Abstract:

Road traffic accidents are one of the commonest causes of death in children. Child safety car seats have played a pivotal role in reducing the mortality and morbidity associated with road traffic accidents. However, there have been some concerns about the about the design of front facing car seats versus their rear facing counterparts. Legislation governing the use of rear facing car seats is variable, with some Scandinavian countries recommending their use up to the age of four, while others mandate their use only until one year of age. We present three case narratives of patients aged under 3 years who sustained catastrophic injuries after being involved in a road traffic accident despite being placed in an appropriately sized forward facing car seat. We reviewed the literature for evidence comparing the safety and efficacy of front versus rear facing car seats. Accident registry and crash test results support the increased safety of rear facing child seats. Frontal sled test have demonstrated that forward facing car seats expose children to much higher neck loads and chest displacement resulting in higher injury scores. Epidemiological data from registries and observational studies support the experimental data and demonstrate a clear injury-reducing effect of rear facing child seats compared to their forward facing counterpart. We recommend keeping children in rear facing car seats until the age of four, which is common practice in Sweden.

Abstract:

Almost since the emergence of the First Ride—Safe Ride concept some 15 years ago, loan or rental programs for child car seats in maternity hospitals and community centers have been a popular method of promoting child restraint use. Today there must be hundreds of such programs throughout the United States. The Dunedin rental program (Pediatrics 1986;77:167-172) is certainly a unique approach, but some aspects of it may lack practical application, at least in the United States. For example, it would be unlikely that we could saturate a community with free car seats or have available so broad a staff support system.

Abstract:

Advancements in health care have made it possible for many premature infants weighing less than 2.2 kg (5 lb) to be discharged from the hospital. Medical professionals, however, have no information available from which to make recommendations on which child safety seats are most appropriate for safely transporting the low-birth-weight infant. Current federal safety standards do not specify the minimum weight of an infant for which a seat is appropriate. The suitability of various types of infant car safety seats for premature infants was documented by placing 2.0-kg (4 lb 8 oz) babies in a representative sample of seat models. Ease and ability of the seat to fit the size of the infant and allow for proper positioning of the baby was noted. Each seat was measured from the seat back to crotch strap and shoulder strap to seat bottom to provide a basis for comparison of various seat models. Convertible seats with seat back to crotch strap height of 14 cm (5½ in) or less provided relatively good support for the infant. Seats with longer seat back to crotch strap distances allowed the infant to slouch. Seats with lap pads or shields were uniformly unacceptable.

Abstract:

Child passenger safety restraint laws have reduced the number of children killed or injured in motor vehicle accidents in the past few years. However, the increased used of child safety seats has brought with it an increase in the misuse of these devices. High cervical spine injuries sustained by five children less than 2 years of age while in forward-facing car seats are described. In the cases of three children, the car safety seat use was correct. Misuse of car seats and anatomic and biomechanical factors in the cervical spines of infants and young children appear to have contributed to the occurrence of these previously rare injuries. Like seat belts, car safety seats are now a factor in child passenger injury characteristics, and therefore, car safety seat design merits reevaluation. In light of this development, public and parent education by health care professionals concerning the correct use of car safety seats is necessary.

Abstract:

After staggering numbers of infants were killed in automotive crashes in the 1970s, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended in 1974 universal use of car seats for all infants. However, positional problems were reported when car seats are used with premature infants less than 37 weeks gestational age as a result of head slouching and its sequelae. In 1990, the AAP responded with another policy statement introducing car seat testing. It recommended that any infant at or under 37 weeks gestational age be observed in a car seat prior to discharge from the hospital. The AAP did not give specific guidelines on type of car seat, length of testing, equipment, or personnel proficiency, however. Few nurseries have standard policies to evaluate car seats, to teach parents about car seats, or to position newborns in them, and not all hospitals actually conduct car seat challenges or have common standards for testing that is performed.

Abstract:

Correct use of car seats for small children is essential to prevent serious injuries and death from automotive accidents. Failure to use a car seat properly can contribute to serious injury or death of a child. A case study in which misuse of a car seat occurred is reported. The infant died of hemorrhage and shock secondary to liver laceration which resulted from excessive pressure over the abdomen sustained on impact. Surveys of car seat use for small children prior to and following a child restraint law are also reported. Observers noted types of car seats and specific forms of misuse. Survey results suggest that parents are more likely to misuse car seats for infants than toddlers. Medical professionals can reinforce the importance of proper car seat use by incorporating specific car seat use questions into the patient interview and by providing educational materials.

Abstract:

This paper gives an overview of materials and specifics in production of upholstery for vehicles. Special attention has been paid to natural leather as one of the most luxurious materials for the manufacture of car interior upholstery materials. Its properties, advantages and disadvantages are compared with textile materials. The quality of suitable seams is one of the most challenging tasks in making upholstery. In this paper, special emphasis is placed on cutting and sewing natural leather used for making car interior upholstery. Natural leather is a specific natural material that gives a touch of luxury to car seats and interiors. Durability, high price and lower market offer of leather lead to its restricted use for car upholstery compared to textile materials; however, these reasons in particular make it extremely desirable at the same time. According to previous research, cutting and sewing of leather car upholstery require greater attention also when choosing the appropriate leather, sewing machine, thread, needle and seam type, which will give satisfactory properties of the car upholstery in all segments. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to professional knowledge and specifics related to natural leather, its use for car seats and the proper quality of the sewn seam.

Abstract:

The present paper discusses the presence of microorganisms in textile materials, especially in car seats, and the use of antimicrobial agents. We observed that the main agent between the user and the car's microbial system are the seats, due to the direct contact with the users. In addition, the environment in which the car is inserted, the type of car, and the seat fabric-type influence directly the reproduction of the microbial system. Microorganisms found in different parts of cars, especially in seats, could be potential threats to human health. Thus, to combat these microorganisms, it is necessary to study antimicrobial agents aimed at eliminating or inhibiting their reproduction and, consequently, promoting hygiene, ensuring the health and well-being of car users.

Abstract:

Car seats of the future will have to give even greater consideration to the human aspects of comfort and style. Moreover, driver and passenger seats need to be designed separately, to optimize each seat according to its function and location the car interior. The seat system of the “ARC-X” experimental car is based on the results of body pressure distribution measurement, subjective evaluation, and other human engineering techniques. These were used to analyze driver and passenger postures from the standpoints of performance and comfort. This paper introduces features of the driver's seat and front and rear passenger seats adopted in the “ARC-X”, and reports some of the analytical results on which their design was based.

Abstract:

In this paper, four commonly used car seat covers, made from leather as well as from woven, knitted and 3D spacer fabrics are tested as sandwiched and separate layers to determine the effect of the lamination and layers on air and water vapor permeability. Different combinations of interlining materials are also tested to obtain the optimum comfortable car seat cover. This analysis gives us a real idea of which layer negatively affects the breathability of the car seat. The focus of this part of research was to identify the issues within the car seat material instead of factors like external cooling or the clothing of the driver. It was observed that the polyurethane (PU) foam and lamination significantly reduce the permeability of the car seats. The 3D spacer fabric shows the best top layer properties as compared to classical woven, leather or knitted car seat covers. The research shows how layers and lamination cause thermo-physiological discomfort of car seats.

Abstract:

Suboptimal compliance with child restraint system (CRS) recommendations can increase risk for injury or death in a motor vehicle crash. The purpose of this study was to examine scenarios associated with incomplete CRS use and non-use in children ages 4–10 years. We used a cross-sectional online survey with a convenience sample of parent/caregivers from the United States, age ≥18 years, with a child age 4–10 years in their home, who could read and spoke English, and drove child ≥6 times in previous three months. We used descriptive statistics and Mann-Whitney U to describe and compare the distribution of responses to situational use of CRSs among car seat users and booster seat users. We also used descriptive statistics and the Mann-Whitney U to describe and compare the distribution of responses to carpooling items among booster seat users and non-booster seat users. There were significant differences among those who reported most often using booster seats (n = 282) and car seats (n = 127) in situations involving rental cars, driving just around the corner, car too crowded to fit the CRS, not enough CRSs in the vehicle, the CRS is missing from the car, or the child is in someone else’s car without a CRS (p < 0.05). Among those who reported most often using booster seats and who carpooled other children (n = 159), 71.7% (n = 114) always used a booster seat for their own child. When carpooling other children, booster seat users were significantly more likely to use booster seats for other children ages 4–10 than the non-booster seat users (p < 0.01). Continued education and programs surrounding CRS use is critical, particularly for children who should be in booster seats.

Abstract:

As a lot of time is spent in the car, the comfort of not only the car seat but also the car seat cover itself has become of increasing importance. With increasing use of ventilated seats, the control of the physical and mechanical properties of leather in response to punching has become of prime importance in the design of car seats. This study evaluated the changes in the physical and mechanical properties of leather due to punching and proposes optimum punching intervals for car seats. Sixteen types of leather, punched at three spatial intervals (2, 3, and 5 mm), were evaluated in terms of their apparent density, softness, coefficient of friction, warm-cool feeling, and mechanical properties. Leather punching affected its physical and mechanical properties. However, there were differences in punching intervals that significantly affected each property, including the mechanical properties. Depending on the performance required when developing a product, a suitable punching interval must be selected. Therefore, punching at 5 mm intervals is preferred for obtaining physical and mechanical properties similar to those of untreated leathers, and punching at 3 mm intervals is recommended for achieving more softness. On the contrary, punching at 2 mm intervals increases air permeability but decreases dimensional stability.

Abstract:

Car safety seat use has increased because of child restraint legislation in all 50 states and educational efforts by medical professionals. Not all children, however, can fit into commercially available car seats, and some modification is necessary to accommodate these children with special needs.1 Safe transportation is a problem faced by physicians and parents with increasing frequency as more children with special problems are discharged to home: one such example is the child with mechanically assisted ventilation. We have recently determined that these children who weigh less than 18.2 kg (40lb) can be transported properly and safely in commercially available car seats while the ventilator system remains attached to the child and in operation.

Abstract:

This paper deals with investigating performance of car seat fabrics in terms of their compression and recovery properties and physiological comfort of sitting. Polyurethane foam, nonwoven and 3D knitted spacer fabrics are commonly used as padding (in middle layer) in car seats cover. The current work presents an alternative approach to evaluate effectivity of car seat fabrics, namely their compression behaviour, variation in thickness under dynamic loading, thermal properties, water vapour resistance and air permeability. The above mentioned properties belong to basic requirements in car seat manufacturing. Micro tomography system was used to obtain detailed information about change in internal structure of fabric samples, before and after compression test.

Abstract:

The method of operation of a pilot car seat rental scheme is described. It is unique in that there are sufficient seats to accommodate every newborn infant in the city. Both infant and child seats are available. The pattern of use since the establishment of the scheme in December 1981 is reported. Currently 60% to 70% of parents rent infant seats and 35% to 40% rent child seats. Yearly roadside observations have shown a steady increase in the number of restrained children. In 1981 no infants traveled in approved restraints. In 1984 66% did so. The 1984 results for other age groups were: 6 to 18 months of age, 88%; 18 months to 2½ years of age, 82%; 2½ to 3½ years of age, 66%; 3½ to 4½ years of age, 62%. At this time no legislation applied to children less than 8 years of age. The success of this pilot scheme suggests it should be expanded on a national scale.

Abstract:

The ultimate aim of this work is to provide the safest ride for the peoples. The following contribution is to protect the precious life of the driver and the co-passengers during the accidents by increasing the distance between the impact zone and the passengers, peculiarly during the crash on the sides. This can be achieved by incorporating a pneumatic cylinder under the seats, which is then actuated by the solenoid valve triggered by the deformation caused by the crashing vehicle. This makes the seats tilted at the time of the accident away from the near side of the door, which saves the life. The high-pressure energy in the container gives ultimate kinetic energy using high velocity gives a sudden actuation of seats in a fraction of seconds clearly say 0.3 seconds. We have re-designed the structure and mechanism of car seats to make it possible to save precious lives. Our design idea does not stop with single possible way of saving the life, it extends to lot of customization and adaptability based on the car structure and available space specific to various brands and models.

Abstract:

General agreement exists regarding the importance of using infant and toddler car seats. However, current guidelines regarding the proper time to change the direction of a convertible safety seat are still debated. We report a case in which an unusual, but preventable, injury was sustained by a child occupying a "properly" installed child restraint device. The rarity and potential seriousness of this injury illustrates the safety advantage of using rearward facing infant car seats as long as possible during infancy. CASE REPORT A 10-month-old girl weighing 8.04 kg (17 lb 14 oz) occupied a properly installed forward facing convertible safety seat located in the rear seat of an automobile involved in an accident.
