“…3 In this study, there was a greater involvement of males, which corroborates with other studies, at a national level, involving the entire population. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] This greater vulnerability is justified by some authors as a consequence of behavioral factors, which places it in situations of greater exposure to the occurrence of accidents and violence. 7, In addition to sex, age is also related to external causes, since adolescents and young people have frequently been involved in accidents and violence, possibly due to behaviors and activities that they take on socially and put them in conditions of greater vulnerability.…”

Considering appropriateness for age, correctness of installation (in the back seat in the correct orientation), and frequency of use, only 50.85% (149/293) of the children were reported as always protected with a CRS. Children between 1 and 4 years were more likely to always use a CRS in this Brazilian survey. We were also able to identify an important gap in the knowledge about airbags among parents. Further efforts are needed to correct those distortions.
