Child safety in cars : the background to effective education and promotion in Australia : TARU 5/80

In such an important area as the restraint of children in car crashes, it is essential whilst developing a programme of education and promotion, that the end object of reducing deaths and injuries be kept clearly in mind. There is no point in running a much praised advertising programme, if as a result more child restraints are not bought. It is useless to sell more safety devices if they are not used frequently and correctly. And it is certainly unprofessional to promote the purchase and use of child restraints that do not improve the chances of surviving crashes. The starting point is the development of a range of child restraints that work.\n\n**Note:** This resource was originally published on opengov.nsw.gov.au. The OpenGov website has been retired.

在儿童汽车碰撞约束这一至关重要的领域中，在开展教育与推广项目时，必须始终牢记降低儿童伤亡这一核心目标。若最终未能提升儿童约束装置的购置量，即便广受赞誉的广告宣传项目也毫无意义。若购置的安全装置未能被频繁且正确地使用，那么销量提升也毫无价值。而推广无法提升碰撞生存几率的儿童约束装置的购买与使用，更是有失专业水准。项目的起点应当是研发一系列切实有效的儿童约束装置。
