Abstract
This study suggests that booster seat laws are associated with a lower proportion of injury expenditures for MV occupant injuries in booster seat-aged children. Observed income disparities raise questions regarding whether access to booster seats, quality of affordable seats, and proper use and/or e...

Immaturity of the respiratory center and decompensation for the respiratory changes caused by the sitting position were suspected to cause DS in infants. Sitting-type car safety seats should be used with caution for preterm infants, and all preterm infants need to be screened by polysomnographic exa...

Abstract
Habitual restraint use was reported for 92.5% of children. The frequency of habitual use decreased with increasing child's age (p = 0.0143). Among children 3-7 years, correct restraint use was lower than in the previous survey (p = 0.0039). Increased child's age was associated with decreased likelih...

There were no outcome differences between car seat users and non-car seat users. However, there were significant improvements in injury severity score (7.0 vs. 10.1, P = .002) and revised trauma score (7.6 vs 7.3, P = .013 for seat belt users compared to nonusers) even after matching on propensity s...

Abstract
In 2005 in Auckland, New Zealand, the prevalence of wrapping cot mattresses in polythene, which has been recommended for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) prevention by proponents of the toxic gas theory, was 21.7%. This cannot account for the 63% decline in SIDS from 1994 to 2004.
