The purpose of this study was to compare the child car safety and the rate of accidents among Koreans
and in order to provide base data for development of education and intervention programs aimed at
preventing and managing transportation-related injuries. The numbers of subjects were 7,277 from the Korea
National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2013. SPSS 22 was used for statistical analysis with
complex sample survey modules and commands. As a result, the rate that didn't use the front seat of the
car for child at all was 32.7%, and the rate that had always used child protection equipment in the car
was 35.3%. There were significant differences between child car safety consciousness and incidence of
injuries(X² =26.19, p=.014). Appropriate child restraint use was defined as a forward facing child restraint
or booster seat for children aged 6 years or less. In this study, the incidence of injuries was the highest
inappropriate child restraint use group (10.8%). Therefore, to increase child car safety consciousness, safety
education and related program for adults is needed. Moreover, child passenger safety campaign and law
remedy for child safety in the car should be strengthened.
