SAFETY OF TRANSPORT FOR DISABLED CHILDREN: EXPLORATORY SURVEY IN FRANCE
This paper concerns the safety of disabled children travelling in a vehicle seat. Severely disabled children suffer from physical impairments of posture and movement which alter their seating position. There has been very little research done on this group of travellers. A questionnaire survey was given to French parents of disabled children concerning their use of safety devices in a private car. The quality of child restraint usage was investigated: the most common misuse was incorrect belt positioning. Proposals for further research are made, including adaptation of the standard belt.
