“…Single-parent families had higher odds of not using a car seat than families with both parents, which is consistent with the results of some authors ( 23 ), while most of them could not prove this premise ( 7 , 8 , 10 ). Authors report that poor implementation of safety measures in single-parent families is associated mainly with their worse material status ( 23 , 24 ) and their inability to purchase an expensive child car seat ( 7 , 14 ). However, our results did not confirm this assumption, because family type was significant despite controlling for material status and other factors.…”

IntroductionThe behaviour of parents in ensuring car passenger safety for their children is associated with socio-economic (SE) status of the family; however, the influence of parental education has rarely been researched and the findings are contradictory. The aim of the study was to clarify whether parental education influences the use of a child car seat during short rides.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was carried out in outpatient clinics for children’s healthcare across Slovenia. 904 parents of 3-year-old children participated in the study; the response rate was 95.9%. A self-administered questionnaire was used. A binary multiple logistic regression was applied to assess the association between parental unsafe behaviour as dependent variable, and education and other SE factors as independent variables.Results14.6% of parents did not use a child car seat during short rides. Families where mother had low or college education had higher odds of the non-use of a child car seat than families where mother had a university education. Single-parent families and those who lived in areas with low or medium SE status also had higher odds of the non-use of a child car seat.ConclusionsLow educational attainment influences parents’ behaviour regarding the non-use of a child car seat. Low parental education is not the only risk factor since some highly educated parents also have high odds of unsafe behaviour. All parents should therefore be included in individually tailored safety counselling programmes. SE inequalities could be further reduced with provision of free child car seats for eligible families.

“…12,177 Children aged 10-12 years living near heavy traffic, with parents concerned about road safety, were more obese than children with parents who were not concerned. In Sweden there is concern that their low injury rate among children, despite the increasing number of cars, is due to children's reduced freedom of movement.…”
