ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new type of child car seat designed to make it easier and safer for parents and caregivers to install and use. The traditional car seats can be tricky to set up correctly, which sometimes leads to mistakes that could put children at risk in car accidents. The new swivel car seat aims to reduce these common installation errors, particularly focusing on a feature called the “top tether,” which helps secure the seat more firmly. The researchers want to see if this new design leads to fewer mistakes compared to regular car seats.

To participate in this trial, you need to be between 18 and 65 years old and care for a child who is up to 4 years old. It’s important that you’ve installed a child safety seat in the past two years and can lift and install the seat into your vehicle. Participants will have the chance to try out the swivel car seat, share their thoughts on how easy it was to use, and help researchers understand if this new design can improve child safety in cars. The trial is not yet recruiting, so keep an eye out for updates if you're interested!
