The main reason for this is that it is significantly easier to secure a child in a Group 2/3 seat, since in this case the child and child seat are secured together by means of the seat belt. Misuse occurs in Groups 0/0+ and 1 significantly more frequently than in Group 2/3. When the misuse rate is broken down across the different groups of child restraint systems, it varies greatly.
The misuse rate for child seats has dropped significantly. The misuse rate is thus under 50 percent for the first time in this kind of study (see figure). The large data set of 1,042 cases also permits a detailed analysis for specific lines of questioning, allowing reliable results to be obtained.ĥ2.4 percent of the total of 1,042 children were correctly secured, and 47.6 percent were incorrectly secured. Compared to previous studies, there were a significantly larger number of cases in the field research. The data collected was evenly distributed throughout this period. The field study was started at the end of June 2016 and completed in June 2017. With over 1,000 cases examined, it is significantly more comprehensive than all previous field studies on this issue in Germany. In terms of its scope, this study sets a new benchmark. Consequently, the purpose and goal of this study of misuse is both to give a current picture of the use of child seats and to ascertain whether the action taken in the past to improve child safety in cars has been effective.
